Hello and Welcome to my therapy practice. I have 15 successful years experience with counseling adults to further build self-awareness and greater relationships with themselves and others. I educate clients on practical coping skills to manage their moods leading to improved quality of life. My advanced Compassionate Focused Therapy training is one of my leading therapeutic skills that compliments clients wanting to increase self-compassionate language and behaviors that are encouraging rather than discouraging. I'm passionate about helping others and have been very successful at assisting people in reducing their critical voice within & updating their mindset to access their compassionate brains.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I curate a safe space for clients to share tender feelings, attuning to your needs. During my 13 years of experience counseling, I have developed a kind way to share more direct feedback in sessions if that is something you appreciate. My sessions are typically focused on weekly coping skills that are effective and lead you to your identified treatment goals. We work together on practicing coping skills that you can add to your toolbox. Some skills you will prefer more than others, but at least you have multiple ways to handle a situation. We can set weekly goals for you. I offer guidance and can assist you with accountability to reach your goals. We work collaboratively to help you erode patterns that no longer serve you.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with professionals who are in the first few years of their careers and college students. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their careers. The age range I work averages from 22 years old to 50 years old. I like helping people diagnosed with Depression, Anxiety, and mild to moderate ADHD
