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

In our first session, we will briefly introduce ourselves and I will answer any questions you may have. I will ask you some basic questions about your current emotional state. At your discretion, you may tell your story or describe your struggles. I will accept what you tell me and validate your emotions and beliefs regarding your story. Next we will explore explanations as to why you are experiencing the struggles in your story. Together we will explore strategies to cope with the symptoms you may be experiencing from your struggles. Finally we will explore possible solutions to your struggles.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I remain calm and attuned which helps clients to regulate and attain calmness as well. I connect with my clients while maintaining professional boundaries. I see all of my clients as valuable and strive to help them see and believe in their value. I help clients move forward by helping them resolve the issues that are holding them back. I teach clients how to soothe themselves and manage daily stress. My therapy has structure and purpose to discover solutions for clients.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Recovering from my own childhood trauma with debilitating anxiety and depression, puts me in a position of compassion, discernment, wisdom, and knowledge that bolsters the education, training, and therapy experience i have received. I can embrace intense painful emotions with empathy and composure. It is safe to tell me your story no matter how violent or shameful it may be to you. I know what it is like to be in intense emotional pain, use unhealthy coping strategies, and ultimately resolve that pain.
