It can be very difficult to take steps towards positive change when facing challenges in life. Have you been having difficulties engaging in things you previously enjoyed? Are you isolating and finding it harder to talk to family or friends? If you are looking for a safe empowering space where you can begin the process of healing, you have already taken your first step.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
THE MOST important thing in therapy is the relationship between you and your therapist? Just like any other relationship, you and your therapist "clicking" is one of the most, if not, THE most important thing leading to successful therapy sessions. Always know that if you don't feel connected to your therapist, this is okay. Therapists don't take it personal, we understand the importance of you connecting with us, and we will always understand if you may need to switch therapists, until you find one that you connect, "click" with. Just be open and honest with your therapist and this will be the first step to you beginning therapy. By you being open and honest in sharing your thoughts and genuine feelings about the lack of connection, you are also being open and honest.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Each individual has our own unique needs, so I draw from a wide range of techniques to tailor therapy to your specific goals. These tools can help you reduce symptoms, understand patterns in your life, improve relationships, and accomplish your personal or professional goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My experience includes working with trauma, sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, intimate partner violence, and women’s issues. Together we can explore unhealthy patterns and behaviors, and develop positive coping skills that can promote healing. I am here not only to witness your experiences but to walk alongside you. You are not alone.
