(she/her)
I am a provider with many roles and responsibilities. As such I understand the difficulty in managing different tasks and how it can affect our mental health. This is one of the reasons why I decided to become a provider. I want to help individuals who have a hard time finding themselves identify ways to heal. My goal is to empower you to reach your goals and become the person you dreamed of becoming. I understand change is hard but we can do it together. As a provider I will be alongside you to be the guide, mentor, and support you need. Help me help you prioritize your mental health. I specialize in working with teenagers, young adults, and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, or adjustment issues. My client-centered approach allows you to become the driver of your own mental health journey and choose what you want out of therapy. I want to help you become the best version of yourself.
We will use our first meeting as a get to know you session and discuss the reason why you are seeking therapy. We will discuss current triggers, stressors, and coping skills you have utilized prior to seeking treatment. Our session will focus on your needs and we will work on setting goals for us to work on during our future appointments. We will use this meeting as a way to determine whether we will be a good fit. Selecting a provider is the first step to your healing journey and I want to make sure you feel safe and supported.
My approach to treatment is not a one-size-fit all. As a therapist I understand every patient is different and as such my treatment model is tailored to your specific needs. I utilize solution-focused, strength-based, and client-centered approaches to create a unique experience for all my patients. My goal is to remind you that you are the one in charge of your sessions and I am only here to help empower you. During our sessions we will explore stressors and life events that may have shaped your way of thinking. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) I will help you learn to identify and challenge your negative distortions and we will discuss ways to manage your anxiety and depression. I will assist you with developing your coping skills and help improve your self-awareness to identify what changes may need to be made to support your lifestyle.
If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, or adjustments issues then I am here to help you. Through my empathic approach to therapy, I will create a safe and supportive environment for you to share what is going through your mind. We will work together to set goals that align with your values and vision of a better, healed you. Whether it is developing coping skills, problem-solving skills, building a support system, improving your self-esteem or simply gaining insight, my aim is to support you throughout your journey to building resilience.
