The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am welcoming, warm and empathetic. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space. My strengths include active listening -I like to communicate in a clear and honest manner so there is total transparency. I use evidence based approaches such as CBT, Mindfulness and trauma based therapy. I support Clients in identifying triggers and teach coping skills and grounding exercises. Generally Client describe me as easy to talk with, non judgmental, supportive and that I help them feel understood.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

In my practice I work with Clients who have concerns and challenges including experiencing anxiety, depression, low self esteem and establishing health relationships with self and other. The goals of therapy are determined with both the Clients and Therapist-it is a collaborate effort-, be it reduction in symptoms of anxiety , depression, self acceptance and acceptance of others, using healthy boundaries and providing tools to achieve goals.
