Get to know me

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

The first session is just to get to know my clients, their likes and dislikes, any previous treatment in mental health, treatment goals, expectations of therapy, answering any questions they may have about therapy or the way it works.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I love my job of holding others up when they are having a hard time doing it themselves. I provide praise and reflect on the strengths I see in my clients, all while validating their feelings. I had always struggled with mental health growing up, but never understood why I felt the way I did. I take pride in teaching teens and young adults that they are not alone and providing psychoeducation about mental health to reduce stigma. I enjoy providing coping skills and holding clients accountable in order to help with their struggles. What drives me to do this work is being there for my clients as someone who can empathize and care about how they are feeling in a fast-moving world. Everyone deserves someone who will sit and listen without judgment while challenging thoughts and providing feedback when needed.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work predominantly with teens and young adults. Some life circumstances and conditions I treat are those with depression, anxiety, life transitions (college, divorce, break-ups), low self-esteem, anger management, and trauma. My communication style I create a comfortable, playful and friendly environment where my clients feel free to be themselves and share the hardships they are facing.
