When life pushes you to seek professional support, applaud yourself for taking a step to better your well-being. I bring experience with empowering individuals to manage anxiety, relationship hurdles and parenting challenges. My approach is rooted in empathy and evidence-based practices, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore their concerns. Whether you're navigating dating/family/work relationship challenges, seeking parenting strategies, or seeking personal growth in managing anger/whirlwind emotions, I am here to help.
A therapist-client relationship is like any other, we want to make sure it is a good fit because your time is valuable. The first session will be utilized to discuss what brought you to seek support. We will see if our personalities are a good fit and make sure you are feeling comfortable before moving forward. I will also assess and make sure I am well equipped to support you in meeting your goals. If I am not, I will help you find someone who will be most helpful to you.
I feel confident you will feel supported and gently challenged towards your goals. I have been told I am laid back, empathetic, relatable and easy-going. I will be able to identify the root cause of your challenges and then help you create a plan where we can see lasting change and clarity.
I have supported many with a trauma history and PTSD, please know you will be well cared for here. I am passionate about providing a safe and non judgemental environment for people of all backgrounds and lifestyles.
If you wish to explore it-I often find patterns of ones childhood experiences leading to how they handle conflict and relationships as an adult. I closely monitor patterns and offer reflections based on willingness and readiness to hear it. I then couple that with suggestions on how one can take a step to growth in their communication and/or managing of their relationships.
Our thoughts, emotions and behaviors drive every aspect of our lives. CBT takes a look at the interactions of these factors and helps us find how we are getting stuck in the same patterns. Upon looking at these patterns we can find tangible solutions on how we can change and become "unstuck".
I use TIC with every interaction. It is a way of thinking that acknowledges everyones need for their past experiences to be taken into consideration in order to receive helpful care.
