As a counselor, I aim to be a mirror for you to help you understand your thoughts, process your feelings, and see your patterns. I value collaborating with clients to build self-esteem, manage stress during challenges or transitions, and create healthier relationships. Common focuses include self-esteem, adjustment, communication, empathy training, strength identification, coping skills, trauma, stress management and career/school issues. I have experience working with a variety of diagnoses including anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, PTSD, OCD and ADHD. I operate from a person-centered framework and utilize CBT, narrative therapy, REBT and mindfulness techniques. I aim to be strength-based, flexible, empathetic, and open-minded in helping you create change.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is all about getting to know one another. Together we can talk about what brings you into therapy, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. We will also chat about what your symptoms look like, your prior experiences in therapy, and what can expect if we work together. I am also happy to address any questions or concerns you might have.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Through empathy, creativity and authenticity, I hope to build a relationship with my clients that highlights trust, openness, and compassion. My goal is to create a nonjudgmental space for you and I to explore, so that you can build awareness and create change.
