You will often find me with an iced coffee in hand, maybe catching up on the latest reality TV drama, or laughing with my kiddos and loved ones. I'm absolutely in love with the work I do. Seriously, it's not just a job for me; it's a genuine passion. Helping folks navigate life's twists and turns, finding strength in vulnerability, and witnessing those "aha" moments? Let's just say it's what energizes me to start each work day (and that says a lot as I am not a natural morning person). I have genuine interest and care for my clients, looking forward to our sessions. My professional journey has been diverse, spanning various settings including community mental health, correctional centers, private practice, and Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs). Drawing from this extensive background, I offer a holistic and compassionate approach to therapy that is deeply rooted in understanding the complexities of human experiences. My work encompasses a wide range of therapeutic modalities tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual I work with. My therapeutic philosophy is grounded in the belief that healing is a deeply personal and transformative journey, and I am committed to walking alongside my clients with empathy, respect, and unwavering support. I strive to foster an environment where growth and healing can flourish, ultimately empowering my clients to lead more fulfilling and authentic lives.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together you can expect brief introductions, information/history gathering, goal setting, and talking more about what you are hoping to achieve and gain from therapy! This is the time for you to be able to share what you are hoping your therapy sessions will look like, what your needs are, and feel comfortable with your treatment plan.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My therapeutic style is rooted in empathy, active listening, and validation. I believe in creating a trusting therapeutic relationship that allows for open communication and a safe space to explore emotions and experiences. Using a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and trauma-focused interventions, I will guide you towards greater self-awareness, coping skills, and personal growth. My goal is to empower you to overcome challenges, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and build a strong foundation for your emotional well-being during the perinatal period and beyond. Together, we can embark on a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and growth. If you are seeking support during the perinatal period or are struggling with perinatal mental health concerns or trauma, I am here to help. Contact me today to schedule a confidential session and take the first step towards healing and transformation.
