My first focus as a therapist is to foster a space where you can be yourself. Where you can say or feel anything. I try to do this by listening, affirming, being curious, and collaborating with you to find a better way forward. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience. Currently, I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship problems, meaninglessness, and the residual impacts of past traumas. I do my best to acknowledge the many ways in which social, cultural, and economic inequities shape how we understand ourselves and interact with the world.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session I'll be curious to learn more about what you're looking for. I'll tell you about myself and how I approach counseling, as well as how we can work together to help you. I do this by being relaxed and curious, affirming, nonjudgmental, and collaborative.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Psychodynamic, EMDR, CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Solutions Focused Brief Therapy. I will tailor my approach to best suit your needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am kind and patient, empathetic and relaxed. I listen without judgment.
