Struggling to be kind to yourself? Difficulties keeping up with your relationships, work, and health? Looking for some guidance on finding meaning and making the most of your life? Are there obstacles in your path, past traumas, anxiety, or other stressors holding you back from being your best self? Allow me to be a compassionate counselor, healer, and guide on your life journey. I will empower you to identify and achieve your goals through a client-centered, humanistic approach tailored to your needs. My background includes clients working through issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship issues, guilt, fears, terminal and chronic illnesses, spirituality, self-esteem, career and life uncertainties, addictions, and those just looking for an empathetic ear to listen or offer helpful feedback. Many psychotherapists attempt to use their preferred modality as a "one size fits all" treatment. While I stay up-to-date and am able to offer the current and most effective evidence-based modalities, including CBT, ACT, solution-focused, and mindfulness-based therapy, I believe the therapeutic relationship between us is the most valuable tool. Together, we will craft and develop the best custom plan for your needs and desires, incorporating the therapeutic techniques we deem most useful for you. Join me in a completely safe, judgment-free, and confidential space to share, heal, smile, grow, succeed, laugh, and become your best self. No better time than the present to create your desired future, schedule an appointment with me today.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session gives you the opportunity to share your reason for coming to counseling, as well as for us to get to know each other. I will be asking important intake questions, and give you the opportunity to ask me questions. We will do some introductory exploration into your presenting issue, and begin the process of goal setting. As sessions continue, we will dive deeper, establish goals, continue to grow the therapeutic relationship, and empower you to make positive change. You will come away feeling some combination of invigorated, motivated, validated, and relieved.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I always knew my calling was to help those in need. From a young age, I found people were comfortable opening up to me in my everyday life. Not just family and friends, but people I had just encountered and met. I would give them an attentive ear, and they let it all come pouring out. No judgment; just empathy, compassion, and a warm smile. Sometimes people would ask for feedback or suggestions, which I would provide; other times they just wanted to be heard and validated. Sharing a laugh would brighten both of our days! And now I offer this to you: empathy, compassion, and guidance, with laughs and smiles along the way. Please join me in a safe and respectful space where all thoughts and feelings are welcome and encouraged!
