By focusing on your unique strengths and perspectives, I work with you to build confidence and find effective ways to manage your anxiety, and thrive as your true, authentic self.
First session
During our first session, I'll firstly want to get a better understanding of what brings you to therapy and what your goals for therapy are. I'll gather some general information about your background, your current life circumstances, relationships, passions, and values to get a fuller picture of who you are and how we can best work together.
Strengths
I believe my greatest strengths as a provider are my deep empathy and commitment to creating a safe, affirming space for each client. My person-centered approach allows me to truly listen and respond to your individual needs, I’m skilled at building strong, trusting relationships, which helps clients feel understood and supported as they work through their challenges and grow.
Ideal clients
I love working with clients who are navigating the challenges of anxiety and self esteem and people in the LGBTQ community. The people I work with often feel stuck, overwhelmed, fearful, lonely, or struggle with shame. My passion is to create a place where you can feel understood, develop hope, and use our therapeutic relationship to help you reach your goals.
Treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
By incorporating person-centered philosophy into therapy, I focus on creating a therapeutic environment defined by empathy, genuineness, and trust in your intrinsic worth and abilities. I strive to understand my clients' unique experiences with respect and acceptance. By fostering a supportive and non-judgmental atmosphere, I aim to empower clients to explore their thoughts and emotions, leading to greater self-awareness and personal growth. My role is to act as a facilitator in helping my clients tap into their inherent potential and capacity for healing and thriving.
