My Approach to Helping
Hi! I’m so glad you are here and taking steps towards putting yourself first. You may have found yourself in a challenging spot and are unsure of where to go or how to even imagine a world outside of your present moment. It may even seem easier to smile through the pain and respond with a typical “I’m fine” when someone asks how you’re doing. Well, I want to know how you are. I’m here to listen, help you learn new skills, and incorporate behaviors that lead to a better tomorrow.
Beginning therapy can be scary and overwhelming. The fact that you are here searching for your next step is a great achievement and a sign you’re embarking on a significant life journey to wellness. Together I’d like to create an environment where you feel safe and comfortable to get started on that new journey. As a clinician, I want to establish a relationship that’s equal, empowering, kind, and honest.
My goal is to embark on this adventure with you and assist you in recognizing new paths, turns, or hurdles in the process. My approach is person-centered and invites a more conversational session to unpack and discover what’s happening together. I will help you create a more compassionate relationship with yourself and find the stepping stones to your miracle world.
How I work:
I work to create a trusting relationship with each of my clients and utilize a person-centered approach that ensures a unique and personalized treatment plan. I will often integrate a cognitive behavioral or solution-focused intervention to assist you in understanding yourself and others around you to the best of your ability.
My experience has granted me the opportunity to work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational issues. I have learned that every client’s symptoms present differently and engaging with the client where they are presently has encouraged clients to acknowledge and confront things that aren’t working or are working great for them!
I believe that acknowledging our challenges while simultaneously celebrating our victories is the most rewarding approach for both you and me! If you are feeling ready to turn the page and get started, please reach out, and let’s talk.
