I am passionate about coming alongside you to help reach your goals! I am honored to be a part of each client’s process for healing and change, and value addressing whatever needs and goals are specific to you. I have been working as a mental health counselor for over ten years, and my favorite part of the job is seeing the resilience and transformation process with each of my clients. I have experience working with individuals of all ages, families, and couples with a variety of concerns including anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship concerns, and trauma. I am an LMHC that specializes in treating trauma and I'm passionate about working with my clients to find the healing that they have been wanting. I also value being a therapist that is a BIPOC individual, and welcome my clients to bring their cultural concerns and racial trauma to work through in sessions.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session is spent getting to know you and why you are seeking services. It is a relaxed conversation about your goals and current difficulties. This is also the time where you can ask me questions about what to expect, my approach, and my experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. We will generally come up with your goals for treatment in the first session, but will continue to build rapport with each other and fine tune those goals within the first few sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe my two biggest strengths are helping those with suicidality and self-harm, as well as those who have dealt with a history of trauma. It seems that these are the types of clients that are “drawn” to me, and thus, I have both experience working with and have attended trainings that are specific to these presenting problems.
