Hello and welcome to therapy! I am so proud of you for being here. It is scary to make this first step to try to find someone who can walk with you on this vulnerable journey and I am so proud of you for being brave enough to do it. Healing can be scary but you are not alone. I am here to help. I have been practicing as a therapist for about 4.5 years and I love being a therapist because I love helping people learn, grow, and become the best versions of themselves. My specialties are in trauma, adolescents, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. If you are struggling with any of these and are ready to be brave and start your healing journey, book an appointment with me. I am excited to meet you and accompany you in your journey to a more full and peaceful life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I take a client-center approach as I accompany clients on their healing journey. I understand how difficulty it can be so I meet my clients were they are while challenging them to make the positive changes necessary for healing. The goal is to reach a level of well-being and self-knowledge that will allow independence and maintenance beyond the therapeutic environment.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I view therapy through a trauma-focused lens, asking "What happened to bring you here" rather than, "What is wrong with you". In accompanying clients on their healing journey, I utilize client-centered therapy, mindfulness-based CBT, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, solution-focused therapy, and EMDR. I am working toward National Certification in EMDR and anticipate being fully certified by December 2024.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am passionate about helping people to grow and heal! Nothing brings me more joy than helping people become the best versions of themselves! I believe that the Lord has called me to be a therapist to help others grow in peace though I see non-Christian as well as Christian clients. There's no judgment here and what you say will not affect the way I provide unconditional support and care for you as my client. I love working with populations suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD as the change is very evident and rewarding to see when the goals are achieved.
