First session
Our first session will include an intake assessment and getting to know you, and hopefully, your goals. I want you to feel comfortable with treatment and with me. Part of this process is me asking questions and learning about you. Of course, I encourage questions from you too!
Strengths
The most common feedback I get from clients and supervisees is that I am relatable and down-to-earth. I pride myself on normalizing being human. Life happens and sometimes it is messy and complicated. Hopefully, when we meet, it is an hour of your life that is less stressful and without complication!
Ideal clients
My specialties include adolescents, emerging adults, family conflict, anxiety and mood issues, all through a culturally responsive lens. I have worked with diagnoses such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, ADHD, ODD, conduct disorder, and others. My work is focused on marginalized individuals and communities. That said, I am a helper and feel humbled and honored to walk with individuals from any community, as they explore their journey and expand their knowledge.
Treatment methods
Narrative
I have helped clients to clearly identify and understand the problems they are having and to create a life that they desire. Often I meet clients who misunderstand the problems in their life and this misunderstanding is what halts recovery and wellness. I do not tell my clients what to do, as they are the experts on their lives. I listen, reflect and challenge words, thoughts, behaviors that contradict clients' stated goals.
