Beginning therapy is a deeply personal decision and often comes with a mix of curiosity, hope, and understandable hesitation. As a seasoned professional with over 15 years of experience specializing in trauma-informed care, I understand the profound impact that life experiences can have on our emotional and psychological well-being. Using an approach that integrates evidence-based clinical modalities and a deep respect for your individual journey. The goal is never to push past your boundaries, but to honor them—creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported.
In the first session, we will review informed consent, discuss the therapy process, and explore your reasons for seeking support. We'll cover your background, medical history, and any relevant clinical details to better understand your experience. I’ll explain what to expect in therapy and invite your questions. The session will move at your pace, with the goal of creating a safe, validating space where you feel supported and empowered as we begin your journey.
I believe in the use of a holistic, client-centered approach to mental health care, working collaboratively with each individual to ensure they receive personalized support and treatment. I focus on natural, open conversation while integrating clinical approaches to better understand the challenges that brought you to therapy. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment where you feel comfortable discussing your concerns and working together toward better mental health and well-being. Your unique needs and experiences will guide our work, and I am committed to providing the support necessary for you to thrive.
I prioritize emotional safety and autonomy while helping clients build self-awareness and regulation. My approach supports identifying patterns shaped by past experiences, reframing limiting narratives, and understanding how life experiences can influence the mind-body connection and relationships. Through empowerment, I support clients in overcoming obstacles, building resilience, and living more fulfilling lives.
As a trauma-informed clinician, I take a client-centered and compassionate approach to therapy, grounded in the belief that healing happens in safe, empowering, and collaborative spaces. I recognize that many emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges are rooted in lived experiences that may include trauma, chronic stress, or attachment disruptions. My role is to walk alongside clients as they build insight, resilience, and a renewed sense of self-trust.
