During our first session we will spend time getting to know one another and discuss you expectations. Ill ask questions in reference to what brings you to therapy, current concerns, history and your goals you would like to accomplish throughout your therapy journey. Together we will also identify your strengths and develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your needs. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma or simply seeking personal growth you can expect a warm, welcoming, non judgmental environment.
As a therapist i bring compassion, authenticity and genuine care and commitment to helping individuals navigate through life's challenges. I pride myself on creating a safe and supportive environment.
My ideal client is any individual who is open and ready to invest in their healing, growth and overall well being. The clients I work best with are open to self-reflection, willing to be honest about their struggles and have an interest in learning practical tools to create meaningful change. I understand the importance of being seen, heard and understood in the context of real life responsibilities and lived experiences.
Other specialties
I identify as
Trauma Informed Care
Using trauma informed care approach helps you recognize how past traumatic experiences can influence how we think, feel and relate to others. This treatment method also helps individuals understand what happened to them in their past can affect a person's emotional , physical and mental well being. My approach using Trauma Informed Care focuses on creating a safe, supportive and non judgmental space where you can feel heard, empowered and in control of your healing process.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been using Cognitive Behavior therapy in my practice for years to help clients identify negative or distorted thinking patterns, challenge irrational beliefs with more realistic perspectives. I also use to CBT to help clients develop positive coping skills for managing stress, anxiety and depression.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I often use Mindfulness Based Therapy to help clients become aware of their thoughts, emotions and physical sensation. Using this method helps clients to start living in the present moment rather becoming overwhelmed with worrying about their past or their future helping client to regulate their emotions and respond to challenges with self compassion,
