Have you been feeling stuck? Having difficulty connecting in your relationships? Or have been wanting to explore underlying core beliefs or unresolved trauma that have been impacting your relationships with friends, family, and/or even the relationship with yourself? The journey to unpacking and challenging those core beliefs is a gift to yourself. My experience includes working with BIPOC individuals, individuals who have been diagnosed with ADHD* by a psychologist/psychiatrist, and women who struggle with depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. But most importantly, working alongside individuals who are struggling returning to their baseline. Taking the time to look for a therapist that best fits your current needs is important. If you are reading this and it aligns with your emotional and mental needs I would love to join you on this journey towards healing. These weekly or biweekly sessions are dedicated for you and only you. I am looking forward to beginning this journey with you. *DISCLAIMER: Under my license, it is out scope to diagnose a person with ADHD. However, I have experience in working with individuals who are having difficulties with managing attention/impulse/hyperactive behaviors. A formal ADHD diagnoses requires an extensive evaluation from a trained psychologist or psychiatrist.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
You can expect a safe and non-judgemental space where you can feel comfortable to be yourself. I will hold space for the emotions that are difficult to feel and the thoughts that are difficult to say out loud. What you can expect from our first few meetings is you taking the time to tell your story from the very beginning to help me build a foundation for our future sessions. This foundation can be helpful to both you and I to explore patterns and themes from your childhood to your life now. I like to then explore your strengths to help build on your coping tools. Our sessions will include challenging or reframing negative thoughts that are causing distress in your life, addressing current and past traumas, and helping to create growth towards inner peace.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I like to use a strength-based and person-centered approach in my therapy sessions where I provide unconditional positive regard and guidance. I like to explore your past while also addressing current stressors. I like to use mindfulness practices to help ground yourself and practice self-compassion. I also like using a cognitive-behavioral approach to address patterns that are no longer serving you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength is making others feel comfortable to be themselves and feel comfortable with being vulnerable.
