Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
My goal is to help clients learn how to live instead of existing. That is figuring out who they are, what they want out of life, and learning how to live for themselves. My goal is to help my clients figure out what brings them joy, peace, and satisfaction in life. Successful clients will know how to assert themselves and express their needs and wants, unapologetically. They will become confident and learn that fear is only an emotion that does not have to stop them from living and achieving their goals. Successful clients will develop and utilize coping skills and various tools to help them deal with life stressors, with the understanding that they have the ability to make their lives happier and must be willing to embrace their happiness when it comes.
The treatment methods and tools I utilize
I am trained in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed care. However, I prefer a more holistic approach to treatment. As a psychotherapist, I believe in building a strong relationship with my clients and tailoring treatment to their specific needs and requirements. My clients describe me as compassionate, non-judgmental, friendly, and honest. I believe that honesty is the key to having a great therapeutic relationship. If you are looking for a psychotherapist who is trustworthy, experienced, and non-judgmental, I believe that I am the therapist for you.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My specialties are Trauma Informed Care, CBT, DBT, and Solution Focused Therapy, as applies to most populations. I enjoy helping clients explore their past to give insight into how it affects their thinking, emotions, and behavior which leads to choices that will ultimately affect their futures. I like to offer my clients different perspectives to view situations; increase self-esteem and help them identify their strengths so they feel empowered to make healthy and positive choices for their lives. My goal is to increase happiness, growth and help clients learn to live instead of simply existing.
