As a therapist with 21 years of experience, I am dedicated to helping clients overcome challenges and empowering them to recognize their worth. I use a holistic approach to support clients, tailoring interventions to meet each individual's unique needs. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can freely explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and develop healthy coping strategies. I am committed to guiding you on your journey towards personal growth and well-being.

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

In the first session with me, clients can expect a brief introduction to get to know each other and build rapport. We will discuss the specific challenges they are facing and begin exploring their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This initial session will help us create a tailored treatment plan that addresses their unique needs and goals. My aim is to establish a safe and supportive environment from the start, setting the foundation for a collaborative and productive therapeutic relationship.

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

My greatest strengths as a clinician include being a good listener and empathetic, ensuring that clients feel heard and understood. I validate clients' experiences, helping them feel acknowledged and respected. I am skilled at identifying clients' strengths and the root causes of their challenges, which allows me to develop effective treatment plans that lead to measurable progress. My approach is centered on empowering clients and fostering their personal growth and well-being.

I have helped clients in finding solutions to their problems. I highlight client's strengths and resources. I support client in setting specific, measurable, and achievable goals.

Humanistic

In my practice I see the client as a whole, including their emotions, thoughts, behaviors and physical well-being. Helping clients realize their potential and pursue personal growth and fulfillment.

Interpersonal

Understand and improve the client's interpersonal relationships and social support network. Addressing current life events that are affecting the client's mental health. Assist client in exploring their relationships and identifying significant patterns and conflicts.

Motivational Interviewing

I have supported clients in enhancing their motivation to change by exploring and resolving ambivalence. I do this by expressing empathy and supporting self-efficacy in hope to empower my clients in making positive changes in their lives.
