In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Clients can anticipate that the initial evaluation process will be characterized by a blend of directness and warmth, fostering an atmosphere of responsiveness and authenticity. I believe in incorporating genuine humor into my interactions with clients when appropriate. My sessions are conducted with an honest and open demeanor, a quality that has been acknowledged to encourage a sense of openness and comfort among individuals during our therapeutic engagements.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My paramount strengths as a provider lie in my genuine demeanor and adeptness as an attentive listener, cultivated through extensive experience aiding both youth and adults grappling with trauma. By prioritizing active listening, I ensure that clients' needs are understood and addressed collaboratively, fostering a therapeutic environment conducive to growth. I am dedicated to empowering clients by equipping them with the necessary skills and tools to cultivate a sense of self-worth and pride. My patience is a cornerstone of my practice, honed through interactions with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, ethnicities, and sexual orientations, allowing me to tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each client effectively.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My passion lies in early intervention, particularly in my work with adolescents and young adults aged 12 to 24 who grapple with mental health challenges, as well as individuals within the LGBTQ+ community. I find great satisfaction in engaging with clients who are receptive to therapeutic interventions and value genuine connections. My therapeutic style is characterized by eclecticism, allowing me to tailor interventions to suit individual needs, and I pride myself on my cultural competency in navigating diverse backgrounds and identities.
