As a licensed therapist with years of professional experience, I have developed a strong conviction that every individual possesses the intrinsic ability to determine what is best for them. In my therapy practice, I create a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their worries, traumas, self-doubt, and other issues that are causing them distress. My ultimate goal is to empower my clients to discover their strengths, acknowledge their legacy, and overcome their limitations, utilizing a range of therapy techniques that are tailored to their individual needs.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I prioritize building a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients in the initial sessions. While I understand the importance of gathering information through intake forms, I prefer to focus on being present and attentive to my clients' needs. During our first session, I would introduce myself and encourage my clients to express themselves freely, sharing their concerns, reasons for seeking therapy, and any goals they hope to achieve. By creating a safe and comfortable space for open communication, I aim to establish trust and foster a positive therapeutic relationship.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
The American Psychological Association’s research indicates that the therapeutic relationship is the most influential factor in psychotherapy outcomes. I'm so grateful that clients often mention that my empathetic and kind demeanor is one of my strengths. My training, experience, and personality have helped me create an environment of safety, respect, acceptance, and unconditional positive regard for clients. As a result, they feel comfortable sharing their concerns and are receptive to feedback and guidance, which, in turn, helps them achieve their therapeutic goals effectively.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am committed to providing services to individuals from diverse backgrounds and with various mental health concerns. I understand that life can be tough and sometimes we need someone to talk to who truly cares. I have a broad range of experience in helping people overcome their challenges, whether it be anxiety, depression, PTSD, adapting to life changes, ending toxic relationships, enhancing social and communication skills, navigating divorce, making important decisions, identifying and changing unhealthy behaviors, building self-confidence, adopting healthy habits, or simply providing a listening ear and processing difficult emotions.
