Hello there! Thank you for stopping by, and congratulations on taking the first step towards a more self-improved you. I have been in the mental health field for almost 15 years, practicing as an LPC for almost 3 years. Counseling can be scary, but being open to change and vulnerability shows great courage. I have always been passionate about people, and helping others, showing compassionate and empathy. As a valued listener, people often seek me out when they have experienced personal issues, trauma and stressors. Through your journey, I will provide a safe atmosphere in order to begin to face the complexities you are facing, help change your narrative to a more helpful narrative, and we will work together, to achieve your identified goal and success. In therapy, we work to understand yourself in new ways that feel more accepting, empowering, and extensive.
In our first session, we'll do brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. I believe in building rapport and trust, which is the foundation of a promising therapeutic relationship. This will help create an individual, tailored plan for us to work through in your future sessions.
Having been in the field for almost 15 years, I am well versed in the mental health complexities, and that there is not a cookie cutter approach. I realize and understand that each person is their own individual, and with that comes an individual tailored plan to your success. I believe I provide a safe, trusting, empathetic atmosphere, to help guide you. I value getting to know you as the client, identify the root cause of your challenges and empowering a collaborative approach in creating a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
Identifying maladaptive thought patterns, our conscious and unconscious beliefs, our attitudes, and, ultimately, our behavior, in order to help one face difficulties and achieve our goals.
Working together to improving the relationships, communication, and dynamics within a family system. Being able to work with multiple family members together in a therapeutic setting to address problems, issues, conflicts, or concerns affecting the family.
We will explore the art of mindfulness, allowing an understanding of how your thought and emotions relate to your everyday behaviors. Building the skills of distress tolerance in order to manage tough emotions. Building emotional regulation, eliminating emotional chaos and opening the doors to emotional peace. Through these skills, being able to navigate through life's difficulties.
Grief is every moving and it does not just end. Through Grief therapy, you will find ways to manage the grief and be able to learn ways and adapt to the loss of a loved one and be able to adjust to a new reality without your loved one. In therapy you will be provided a safe and trusting atmosphere to speak openly about your loss and build coping skills to manage the grief and loss.
Providing empowerment and encouragement in your autonomy in decision making where the I will acts as a guide, clarifying your strengths and aspirations, identifying your concerns, boosting your confidence in the ability to produce change. Throughout this process we will collaborate and work towards goals and plans for change.
