As each of us goes through life, we will experience difficult transitions. It could be the losses of a loved one or pet to death through disease, accident, or natural causes. Personally, you or a loved one may face cancer or other life-threatening situations. Life’s transitions are challenging. In all cases, you will need support from family, friends, and professionals. My professional experience includes working with adolescents and adults from diverse backgrounds facing challenging transitions in their lives. I have supported clients confronting these transitions while witnessing them gain greater self-awareness. I have also witnessed these clients becoming stronger and more confident through the healing process. I also addressed with clients associated conditions such as depression, anxiety, stress, loss of self-esteem, burnout, and just feeling stuck. I offer empathetic and personable individualized therapeutic services utilizing different theoretical orientations. You will have the opportunity to freely express yourself in a safe and non-judgmental space. To help you achieve your goals and make positive changes in your life, I will also gently challenge you to be receptive to new perspectives on your healing journey. If you are ready to face the wind of your life’s transition, reach out to schedule an appointment.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and going over standard paperwork. We'll then begin discussing what made you take the step to seek therapy and what 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 feel that my biggest strengths are being able to easily develop rapport with clients and that I'm empathetic, compassionate, and caring, yet I gently challenge clients when necessary. I also feel that a strength of mine is being able and comfortable self-disclosing when it helps the client to achieve their goals. I want my clients to understand that I am human and that I, too, know what it's like to work with a therapist to help me work through my issues. And, that I believe that all therapists should have a therapist of their own.
