I want to start by connecting with you in a safe space. I believe growth comes from the courage to face its truth and challenging circumstances in a safe and supportive environment. My role as a therapist is to respect your life experiences and explore the support you need for individual internal growth. My therapy approach provides unique ways to identify what changes you want to embrace and assist you in tapping into your inner strength. My intrinsic style is a genuine humanistic approach, and I encourage clients to take advantage of their ideas through individual reorientation. I want my client to visualize that their therapist has a big flashlight so they can navigate their potential to have a more balanced approach in their everyday life.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I aim to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for them and build rapport by getting to know them. It is important to me to understand their reasons for seeking therapy and their goals and learn about their background information about themselves. My focus is to explain the therapy process and establish a therapeutic relationship in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

In my therapy platform, I want clients to engage fully in therapy treatment and express their feelings toward their treatment process. My primary treatment method emphasizes people's capacity to make rational choices and develop to their maximum potential. In our time together, my baseline is humanistic therapy, allowing the clients to explore the importance of concern and respect for others. I am not strictly faithful or use one method because I primarily use Integrative or holistic therapy. I meet my clients where they are and what are their individual needs. I use Existential treatment to allow clients to focus on free will and search for further life meetings. I also use Cognitive Behavior Therapy to show clients the power of mind-shifting.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I humbly answer this question and have learned my biggest strengths from my prior and existing clients. I take my clients seriously and have the ability to build rapport through empathy and compassion. I do not see my sessions as another hour, but each session is a therapeutic human connection in that we are showing up with respect. I do not believe a treatment plan is a one-size-fits-all, but how to incorporate the client and the techniques. My niche is working with women's issues and family conflicts. My strength is showing up in each session 100%, identifying each client, and allowing them to feel safe to open up to self-awareness and not judge themselves for being human.
