I bring a wealth of experience and empathy to my work. I have holistic approach to therapy that values each individual's unique experiences and strengths. I am licensed in IL and FL. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Through active listening, empathy, and evidence-based techniques, I assist you in gaining insight, coping skills and resilience. Together, we navigate challenges, identify patterns and foster growth, empowering you to live a more fulfilling life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first therapy session with me, we'll focus on building a strong foundation for our therapeutic relationship. We'll start by discussing your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and any concerns you may have. I'll provide information about confidentiality, boundaries, and the therapeutic process. We'll explore your personal history, including relevant background information, to better understand your unique experiences and needs. This session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and collaborate on a plan for your journey towards healing and growth.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Recognizing life's complexities and unexpected challenges, I provide culturally competent care, respecting and integrating your values throughout our work together. My aim is to foster a safe environment where you feel empowered to manage life's fluctuations effectively. As your therapist, I prioritize genuine connection, safety, honesty, and open-mindedness, ensuring a relaxed yet passionate approach to our sessions, free from judgment. Expect personalized support that embraces your unique journey with warmth and understanding.
