Hi there! I am glad we have crossed paths, and am here to help you navigate through life's challenges. Maybe you're dealing with relationship issues, a life transition, self-esteem issues, grief & loss, or simply trying to find yourself. If you're feeling confused and overwhelmed with emotion, deciding to meet with a therapist can be the first step toward relief. I have over 15 years of experience helping people find answers to the difficulties they face. I believe you are the expert as it relates to your symptoms and your life experiences. My role is to collaborate with you, offer guidance and insight, and work together with you toward your goals. Ultimately, I feel it is most important that there is a strong rapport between you and me, and that you feel comfortable in an easygoing, non-judgmental atmosphere. I would love to have the opportunity to help you tap into your strengths, and discover the personal peace and fulfillment we all want out of life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I know taking that first step to meet with a therapist can seem daunting, but ultimately you are making the decision to be the best version of yourself. I believe it is most beneficial that you and I work together as a team. I am here to listen, offer empathy, and give insight into whatever issues you are facing. I use compassion and often humor to help people identify their challenges, needs, and goals. I want you to find healthy ways to feel better and reach your potential. I truly believe ANYONE can benefit from therapy.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Because no two individuals are alike, my approach is varied. I use techniques from a variety of philosophies including: cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, interpersonal, and solution-focused. The key is tailoring our time together toward your needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have worked with all ages in a variety of settings over the years. I now tend to work mostly with young adults and millennials; I find this to be a great fit for all involved! I have extensive experience helping others cope with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and life transitions. Furthermore, I have experienced quite a bit in my personal life. I believe living through/surviving "something" teaches you more than any textbook or professional license ever can. That being said, our time is about you and your needs.
