I have been working in the helping field since 2015. I utilize person-centered and positive psychology models and have experience in DBT, CBT and trauma focused care. My experience includes working with children, adolescents and adults in various settings. I enjoy being part of the process of helping individuals make positive changes and exploring issues to have improved understanding and better ways of coping with life’s stressors.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then discuss the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked in various levels of therapeutic care during the past 10 years, I feel that can first assist people with understanding causes for their distress / emotional dysregulation, and afterwards create a plan to improve wellness.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with young people and adults who are looking to make positive changes, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality.
