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

Upon scheduling an initial appointment with me, you will be provided with electronic documentation that will need to be completed and signed prior to our meeting. The documentation includes informed consent, practice policies, and 2-3 questionnaires. The first appointment is the intake assessment and introductory session. The main goal is for me to get a general overview of what brings you to therapy while obtaining your specific goals for therapy. It is also your time to ask me any questions and review any concerns that you may have. Progress in therapy looks like feeling better and getting closer to reaching your therapy goals. As a part of my therapeutic process, I may assign homework depending on the issue we are working on. Sometimes, the homework is in the form of action steps for the time between sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Connecting and relating to people from various backgrounds and life experiences is one of my greatest strengths. Growing up, I witnessed firsthand the impact of untreated mental illness and substance abuse. I have compassion for those who are suffering as a result of trauma or other untreated conditions such as depression and anxiety. I also understand the impact of poverty and the stress that life circumstances can place upon individuals and families.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I help adults heal trauma and build emotionally safe relationships while providing trauma-informed care through psychology and neuroscience. I work best with individuals and couples who are motivated and ready for change in their lives. I believe that one's experiences in life, especially during the earlier stages of growth and development plays a pivotal role in how we show up in every area of life. My goal is to help people heal from the past so they can transform and live through the empowered state they were always meant live and thrive in. If this resonates with you and ready to start your healing journey, I look forward to working with you!
