LCSW, 7 years of experience
Hi! I am so excited to learn more about how I can embark on the journey to wellness with all of my clients, but first, let me ask you a few questions… Have you noticed a change in how you feel mentally or emotionally… an increase in stress due to life’s circumstances… a conflict in your relationships… or are you questioning why you think and act in certain ways? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then I am the right therapist to partner with you on your wellness journey! I strive to cultivate a healthy therapeutic environment for all of my clients to explore, grow, and actively pursue wellness by addressing past trauma, learning how to manage symptoms caused by anxiety and depression, developing tools to have healthier relationships, and increasing the self-awareness that is needed to live well. I am rooted in faith, and love to incorporate Christian principles into my practice for clients who also share the same beliefs. If you don’t, I’d still love to work with you! I believe that my faith and genuine love for helping people will allow us to vibe well, and work together towards whatever your therapeutic goals are. Wellness looks different for everyone… but I know for sure, that wellness looks good on you! If you are interested in having me travel with you as you journey to wellness, let’s connect!
All of my interactions with clients begin with a 15 minute consultation to determine if you feel comfortable working with me, and if I feel that I can assist you in reaching your goals. From there, our first session will focus on learning more about your experiences, symptoms, and needs. We will also begin discussing your goals for therapy as well.
I am very passionate about partnering with clients who are looking to learn more about themselves, increase their self-awareness, and explore how that impacts the way that they relate to the people in their lives. I feel that my strengths include working with clients to build self-compassion, navigate boundary setting with friends, family, and partners, and manage life transitions.
I look forward to working with clients who are motivated to work on things such as: -managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and/or trauma history - stressors related to life transitions - challenging family dynamics and boundary setting - improving relationships with partners/spouses, friends, or family - grief and loss - increasing self-awareness
IFS is an approach that focuses on really developing compassion and understanding for all parts of you. I incorporate IFS into all of my sessions by guiding you to learn how to identify, listen to, and heal the parts of you that are connected to your pain or challenges.
