I am an experienced therapist with a background as a child welfare manager. My approach integrates trauma-informed care and family systems therapy to support individuals and families in navigating challenges related to parenting, relationships, and childhood trauma. With a focus on solution-focused therapy, I strive to provide a supportive and empowering environment where clients can explore their strengths and work towards positive change.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first session, clients can expect to establish a foundation for their therapeutic journey. This typically involves discussing their reasons for seeking therapy, setting goals, and exploring concerns or questions they may have. I'll likely gather information about their background, current situation, and what they hope to achieve from therapy. In addition, I will provide an overview of my therapy approach and address any logistical details such as confidentiality and session frequency.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths as a provider include my extensive experience in child welfare management, which gives me a deep understanding of complex family dynamics and the impact of trauma on individuals and families. Additionally, my compassionate and empathetic approach, coupled with my focus on empowerment and positive change, creates a supportive environment where clients feel understood, respected, and motivated to work towards their goals.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I am best positioned to serve clients who may be dealing with issues related to parenting, family dynamics, trauma, and childhood adversity. I am particularly adept at supporting individuals and families who are navigating complex challenges such as child welfare involvement, intergenerational trauma, and relationship difficulties. My compassionate approach and focus on empowerment make me a valuable resource for clients seeking to heal, grow, and thrive despite past experiences.
