I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been working as a therapist for over 7 years in diverse settings. My experience includes working with both adolescents and adults that include at-risk populations, juvenile justice involved youth, and in-patient psychiatric settings. I have a relaxed therapeutic style centered on respect, empathy, and compassion. I specialize in depression, anxiety, substance misuse, and trauma.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients can expect the initial intake session to be formatted as a information gathering, where we explore family history, mental health history, relationships, strengths, and goals for therapy. During the initial session, I will also go over policies, procedures, and expectations.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a provider are deeply rooted in my commitment to creating a safe and non-judgmental environment for my clients. I believe in establishing a judgment-free zone where clients feel accepted, valued, respected, and genuinely cared for. This atmosphere of trust and respect is fundamental to fostering effective therapeutic relationships. Additionally, I am passionate about helping my clients discover and harness their internal strengths. I work diligently to support them in developing a strong sense of self and improved self-worth, grounded in their unique values. My affinity for helping others drives me to be fully present and engaged in each session, ensuring that my clients always feel heard and understood. By providing a supportive and empathetic space, I empower my clients to explore their challenges and achieve personal growth.
