Hey there! Do you have some baggage that needs to be let go? Have you been carrying everyone else's baggage for too long? It's time to drop it off and walk away a lighter and happier you! You already possess everything you need to heal yourself. You just need the tools, the confidence, and skills to actually put some things down. This is carried out by asking thought-provoking questions, and most importantly, a seasoned therapist like myself guiding you, listening, and holding the space for you to be vulnerable and let go! I will join you on the ride to identify what areas need to be discussed first, and we will go at your own pace. My approach to counseling operates from a strength base approach to help you recognize your strengths within yourself and develop self-awareness that will lead you to your goals through active involvement, as well as efforts to change your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sometimes change is easy and quick and others it is slow and deliberate. No matter the speed or length of time, I will be supporting you to make the changes in your life that bring you happiness and growth. Let's get started!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then we'll dive into the intake! This will primarily be focused on some challenges that you have been struggling with recently and how you would like you life to look differently. By asking these questions I can create a customized plan for both of us to work on for each session after.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
