Over 15+ years experience. I have helped individuals through a variety of difficult life circumstances (e.g. addiction, anxiety, depression, divorce, difficult life circumstances, and relationship challenges, etc.). I have experience with outpatient, intensive outpatient and inpatient settings. I specialize in solution-focused and goal-oriented approaches. Clients can expect compassionate support and a collaborative journey towards lasting well being.
My approach
Clients can anticipate a holistic approach that integrates solution-oriented strategies, client collaboration, and cognitive behavioral therapy. This approach fosters a therapeutic environment characterized by respect, empowerment, and a strong focus on the client's active engagement in overcoming their challenges.
My focus
I work with a diverse range of clients spanning various demographics and ages, offering support and guidance through life's challenges. I specialize in addressing conditions such as anxiety, depression, family conflicts, marital problems, substance abuse, and navigating life transitions. My approach is versatile and adaptive, tailored to each individual's unique needs and circumstances.
My communication style
In my sessions, I cultivate a compassionate and empathetic atmosphere, placing the client at the center of our work. I prioritize their comfort and take things at their pace, ensuring a non-judgmental and open environment where they feel safe to explore their thoughts and emotions. Clients often describe working with me as warm, collaborative, and deeply supportive of their journey towards growth and healing.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to becoming a therapist was deeply influenced by my own transformative experience with therapy. Recognizing the profound impact it had on my life, I felt inspired to pursue a career where I could extend that same support and guidance to others. Driven by a genuine desire to make a difference, I returned to school and embarked on the path to becoming a therapist. Having walked a similar path of struggle and growth, I bring a unique empathy and understanding to my practice, allowing me to connect with clients on a deeper level and accompany them on their journey towards healing and personal development.
My goals for you
My approach to goal setting with clients is collaborative and client-centered. I empower clients to take the lead in defining their goals at their own pace, ensuring they feel ownership over their journey. While supporting their autonomy, I also provide guidance to help them stay on track and hold them accountable, fostering a sense of responsibility and commitment towards achieving their objectives.
My first session with you
During the first session, clients can expect a supportive and welcoming environment where they feel heard and understood. I prioritize active listening, attentively absorbing their story and experiences without judgment. Together, we explore potential solutions and treatment options tailored to their needs. I also gather comprehensive information to gain a deep understanding of their situation, laying the groundwork for effective collaboration and progress in our therapeutic journey.
