Are you struggling with excessive worry thoughts, low mood or unexpected rage? Are you trying to parent in a gentle and responsive manner, but your own emotions or past trauma are making it hard? Have you been trying to grow your family, but are feeling stuck due to pregnancy loss or fertility challenges? I see you, and you are not alone. My primary focus is on helping women find balance and peace after experiencing trauma, navigating through life transitions, unhealthy relationships, or loss and grief.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Finding the right therapist can feel daunting and confusing. At 3C Counseling and Wellness, I strive to create a non-judgemental space for you to find your voice, be heard and allow you to explore your thoughts, feelings and needs. I offer a safe space to talk through the demands of life and identify practical ways of balancing the care of others and yourself. In the first session we will take some time to get to know one another better and discuss your support needs. I will ask questions about your current situation, history, strengths and barriers, and your goals for therapy. You will have the opportunity to ask questions about my approach and the therapy process. We will come up with a plan for our work together. Please reach out and we can talk further about how I can support you on your journey.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As an empathetic and active listener, I believe in the power of listening more than I talk in order to understand and support you. I use a compassionate and collaborative approach to help you reach your goals. After approximately 15 years of experience in mental health, community centers, education and medical settings, I have a strong awareness of the systems that may serve as resources or challenges in your care. Having worked with birth to 3, young school-aged children, adolescents and adults I have an understanding of struggles across various stages of life. My toolbox is filled with a variety of techniques to use based on your needs. I work to maintain a strengths-based, trauma-sensitive, client-centered therapy. We will identify how your past impacts your current life, then try to remain present and solution-focused in sessions. I will meet you where you are and help you build skills as needed for areas such as: managing emotions, self-care, expressing needs/building healthy relationships, and navigating trauma reactions.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with young adults who are interested in learning more about themselves and their relationships with others. I am passionate about supporting parents as they navigate through the challenges of supporting their child's development while also focusing on their own growth. Whether you are struggling to build a family, adjusting to life with a newborn or toddler, or are navigating the transition of your teenager to young adulthood, my goal is to help you find balance and connection during all stages. I primarily help women who have experienced relational or complex trauma, and anyone going through life transitions and looking to find their voice or place in the world. The clients I see are self-motivated and looking for extra support on their mental health journey.
