My purpose as a therapist is to connect with clients in a collaborative and non-judgmental environment that allows clients to feel safe to explore their thoughts and emotions and to feel empowered to make choices that are in their best interest to better manage their unique stressors. I assist clients in discovering their innate strengths and learning coping strategies they can apply to their school, social, and family systems and work with clients to create achievable goals.
My approach
My therapeutic approach is client-centered and can be described as Cognitive Behavioral with a Rogerian unconditional positive regard for the client and what brings the client to the therapy process. I utilize Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and have taken Grief Counseling and Treatment certification courses. A variety of interventions are utilized that are designed to encourage clients to feel comfortable in understanding themselves and expressing themselves effectively, including art, bibliotherapy, journaling, guided imagery, and mindfulness.
My focus
I enjoy working with adult individuals and couples who are experiencing anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, grief, challenges with career choices, and difficulty with communication.
My communication style
I am open, honest, empathetic, and calm in my approach and work toward establishing rapport and a partnership. My goal is to provide a supportive environment in which clients can attain a deeper understanding of themselves and achieve the goals they have set.
My journey to mental healthcare
It is my belief that each and every person faces personal challenges and that we all have the power to improve our circumstances. I have a strong desire to be of service to others and to help people feel better and improve their lives.
My goals for you
Setting goals is important in life and therapy and can be empowering. My intention is to help clients set realistic, attainable goals that, once achieved, inspire further growth.
My first session with you
Our first session will be filled with opportunities to learn more about each other and to ask pertinent questions. I will provide clarity about the therapeutic process and will discuss our individual roles in the therapeutic process.
