In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In the first session, you can expect a welcoming, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where they feel safe sharing their concerns at their own pace. We will focus on building a rapport and getting to know the your background, current challenges, strengths, and what led you to seek counseling. Together, we will begin identifying initial goals for therapy and discussing what progress might look like, with an emphasis on realistic and achievable outcomes. You will also gain an overview of the therapeutic process, confidentiality, and how cognitive behavioral strategies may be used to support growth and change.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a mother and someone who's worked in correctional institutions for more than 10 years, I consider myself to be very optimistic, captivating the essence of unconditional positive regard, but also honest and forth-coming in identifying discrepancy between client's desired goals and their thought process and/or actions.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Prospective clients are those individuals who may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or stuck in cycles of substance use they're ready to break. They may be high-functioning on the outside, but privately battling intrusive thoughts, emotional exhaustion, or unhealthy coping patterns. Through cognitive behavioral therapy, they are seeking practical tools to challenge negative thinking, build healthier behaviors, and regain a sense of control and stability in their lives. These clients are ready to do the work-even if they're unsure where to start- and are looking for structured compassionate support to move forward.
