I decided to go to school much later in life and have learned the hard way how difficult it was to learn who I am and what I am capable of doing. Through personal experiences paired with education, I specialize in helping individuals navigate a wide range of issues, include anxiety, depression, stress management, relationship difficulties, trauma, self-esteem and addiction. I have worked professionally with substance abuse for approximately 5 years and another year and a half with detainees in correctional facilities.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is typical a "Get to Know You" session. This is a time for us to get to know each other better, and for myself to learn what you are looking to achieve in therapy and explore the best place to start. The therapy process is meant to be a collaborate process. Its also okay if you don't share everything in the first session, and that you can take your time building trust and opening up as you become more comfortable. The main goal is to establish a positive, supportive and therapeutic working relationship that can help you achieve your goals. Its also okay if "you don't know", healing can be messy, and often we just need a place to process and filter the information that we receive in our day to day lives. It really is ok to not be okay and to not have any a clue on where to start or what to do. This process is truly individual and looks different for everyone.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have experienced a lot throughout my life and have had to learn lessons "the hard way". Throughout my life and then furthering my education, I now have the tools to teach others effective ways to help them through this journey called "life".
