Hello! Let me start by saying you should feel proud that you have made it to this point, looking for a therapist and exploring the steps to feeling empowered and content. I thank you for considering me to be a part of your self exploration, and I would be delighted to work with you. Through my doctorate in Human and Social Services and Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling I am able to offer a unique viewpoint and understanding. I use my strong educational background to work with each client in a holistic context. Together we can examine how you exist in the world around you and how to best help you feel confident and successful in your life. I am here for the rough patches, the "I just need someone to talk to" times, and the navigating of traumas both old and new. I can help you develop new skills, hone coping strategies, manage feelings and stress, and support you in moving forward into a healthier, happier place in your life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My goal after our intake is that you feel a sense of relief and hope that you have made the first step on your journey of wellbeing. I am happy to support you in scheduling a follow up session, or connecting you to the services and support you need in order to be successful. I hope you leave sessions feeling empowered, supported and confident in facing life's many challenges.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use a mixed methodology including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Person Centered therapy. I work to ensure that all sessions and interventions are affirming and applicable to each individual person's needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my strengths in working with neurodiverse individuals. I work to stay up to date on effective treatment models and increase my understanding of how to be an efficient and helpful therapist. I have extensive experience supporting Autistic clients, those with ADHD, bipolar, borderline personality, as well as those struggling with anxiety and depression. I also have a strong background in trauma assessment and treatment. I have worked with clients of varied backgrounds and all ages. I am comfortable conducting family sessions as needed.
