I am a human living this life, right alongside of you. I am a wife, and a mother of 3. I love the outdoors, traveling, hosting events, family gatherings, making people smile and laugh. I don't have a job, I love what I do and instead call it "my passion". I love working with raw human emotion and being. I have experience working with clients who suffer from depression, self-harming activities, PTSD, stress, emotional trauma, Adjustment disorder, Anxiety, relationship issues, Self-esteem issues, Bipolar disorders, grief and loss, among other mental health issues/concerns. I enjoy working with my clients to identify their concerns/goals. My client is the expert on his/her life. We will approach therapy as an active partnership created to assist and guide you with the knowledge and tools needed to make progress towards personal growth and change.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, we will establish important points regarding the therapy process and policies. The client will get an opportunity to share about themselves, and the reason for coming to therapy. From there, Therapist will listen to the client and do a diagnostic interview to establish presenting symptoms that might be bothering the client. This way, we will know what to address first. I always give my clients an opportunity to choose whether or not they would like to move forward with me as their provider. Choosing your provider is just as important as every other intentional step in the therapeutic process.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I'm told that I am very relational and relatable. I am very empathetic when it comes to the stories and journeys of my clients. I want to see my clients succeed, and I am very invested in the process to see that happen. I am very committed to my clients, and have excelled in creating a very positive therapeutic rapport.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I'm honestly best positioned to serve people who are open to the therapeutic process. Therapist does not happen overnight, and the therapeutic rapport/relationship is very important for success. Client's who are open to exploring about themselves, and who bring to the table the issues that are presenting for them, are destined to change. Being able to look within, self-reflect, and to be willing to grow and evolve will help to gain the wisdom needed to elevate in this life.
