Hi, I am an LMHC and my work is rooted in CBT and DBT theory and the relational tradition - a tradition that recognizes and honors the deeply embedded nature of our emotional lives in early experiences with significant others, be they parents, peers, institutions and culture- society itself. I use a solution focused technique which ensures my clients growth throughout their therapy process.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will focus on building rapport and discuss any challenges you're facing. I will collaborate with you on a SMART goal map for following sessions. Wherever you begin, I aim to provide a collaborative and safe space that allows for self-exploration, honesty, and self-compassion. I also aim to provide a space that is anti-racist, LGBTQIA-affirming, and culturally mindful. I very much look forward to working with you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I genuinely listen and want to know the things that not only work for you in therapy, but also the things that do not work for you in therapy. I enjoy tailoring therapy towards your wants and needs and believe there is a no size fits all.
