I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I provide specialized services to children , adolescents and young adults ages 12 to 25. I work with individuals who are seeking therapy for help with anxiety, depression, managing stressors, coping with life transitions and managing relationships. I am here to assist along your journey to healing and becoming your most authentic self.
First session, I gather more information about your reasons for seeking therapy, what you would like to get out of our time spent together in therapy. Gather background information about current coping skills, past experiences with therapist and what has been effective and not helpful. A great opportunity for you to ask me any questions pertaining to therapy process and my approach to working with clients.
Provide safe space in therapy for clients to feel a non-judgmental and supportive client-centered approach.
During session, I help client's to identify negative self-talk and maladaptive thought patterns that contribute to anxiety and depressive symptoms. We will work to reframe negative self-talk and cognitive distortions to become increasingly rational to support a healthier mindset.
