Hi there, I'm Auria. I help adults combat perfectionism, people-pleasing, negative self-talk, and anxious-attachment. Together, we can work toward bridging the gap between the life you have and the life you want. We will use our time in therapy to work through what has been holding you back, causing your anxieties, or making you feel less than your worth. Our therapy sessions will incorporate healing past traumas alongside accomplishing present goals. We will focus on self-care, mental well-being, and emotional awareness. I ensure my clients learn to successfully and confidently manage the things that initially seem like a struggle.
During the first session, I will check what prompted my client to initiate therapy and what "therapy" means to them. This discussion will help me understand my client's needs, so I can ensure each session is meaningful or empowering moving forward. Overall, I want my clients to feel that they are getting exactly what they intended to as therapy progresses.
I specialize in working with women, BIPOC, and individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+. Separating societal messages from personal truth is the most important part of living authentically and wholly. Due to my personal background, I also work with clients from interracial households and first/second generation households. Balancing multiple cultures is a difficult and unique experience, and I enjoy working with clients to successfully navigate that.
I especially enjoy working with women, people of color, and individuals who are a part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
I use a couple different treatment methods, but Humanistic is the most fitting for who I am as a therapist. In therapy, my clients and I review how they see the world and how the world sees them. We break down societal messages and messages that stemmed from relationships (romantic or parental) and separate them from true needs/wants/goals. My clients will learn more about themselves and that they have the power to change their lives.
