What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
We'll have a quick consult call to make sure we're a good fit before scheduling our first session. In our first few sessions, our main focus will be on exploring your story, your goals, and any obstacles you're facing. From there, we'll work together to create a goal plan. I love it when my clients are curious about their own experiences, asking questions and exploring new perspectives. I want you feeling supported and motivated to keep exploring and growing until our next session. My hope is for you to feel understood and to have a clear picture of how we'll move forward together. Successful treatment completion is as diverse as my clients themselves. For some, it's achieving their specific goals within a brief therapy period, feeling equipped with tools to tackle challenges as they arise, perhaps choosing to return for tune-ups or focused sessions when needed. Others find success in ongoing support, feeling that continued sessions offer them a steady source of guidance and growth. It's about finding what works best for each individual—whether it's a brief yet impactful therapy experience or an ongoing, supportive journey toward personal development.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist and leadership coach, I love working with people as they navigate their journey of self-discovery. It's an honor to be able to support people through their growth experiences. I love the process of growth and learning that therapy offers. Laughter is great medicine and I value the healing qualities of relationships, nature, and creativity. Therapy is different for everyone, so treatment methods are individualized based on your needs. I use an eclectic mix of methods with elements of mindfulness, psychodynamic, cognitive and solution focused therapy, and leadership coaching. I am a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP), and am certified in Affirmative Therapy for Transgender Communities and Rational Living Therapy (Level I).
