I work with clients who are feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated or anxious. I provide support as well as pride myself in a person centered approach, meeting my client where they are, and helping them to meet goals that they wish to achieve. I am compassionate about working with individuals facing infertility or health challanges.
First session
During our first session, we might start with some deep breathing exercises as a grounding activity and we will explore why you are seeking therapy at this time, and identify goals you would like to work on. I will gather information by conducting a psycho social history, so I can best meet your needs.
Strengths
My strength as a provider is being warm and compassionate as well as optimistic. I have worked with parents and families for many years and have helped to provide a safe space to heal. I integrate mindfulness exercises during sessions which allow the nervous system to regulate and bring a sense of calm to your body and mind.
Ideal clients
I am passionate about helping clients going through infertility and that would like support during a time that can feel isolating, and devastating. I am passionate about working with individuals who are under stress and who are in need of an outlet where they can express their thoughts and feelings openly. Individuals who would like to have a safe space to decompress and learn various relaxation and mindfulness techniques. Clients who would like to increase their self confidence and be their own best version.
Treatment methods
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I utilize mindfulness techniques such as meditation and deep breathing exercises, in my holistic practice. A combination of meditation, positive affirmations and guided imagery is utilized during sessions.
Strength-Based
I often focus treatment based on my clients strengths while taking into account my clients goals for therapy.
Compassion Focused
I utilize Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) during sessions which allow individuals to show compassion to themselves and others in order to alleviate emotional distress and improve their mental health. CFT is helpful for individuals facing shame, those who are self critical, or who have difficulty sharing and managing their emotions.
