My Approach to Helping
Therapy can help when life becomes overwhelming, when you feel alone in your struggles, or experiencing major life changes. You may find it difficult to talk about your problems with family members or friends, as they may not understand your feelings. My role as a therapist is to empower those facing various issues in their life; assisting you to cope with difficult situations in a more adaptive way. Being listened to will help you feel understood and that other people care about you and what you have to say. I provide a supportive, caring, non-judgmental, safe, and culturally appropriate atmosphere.

Had a Negative Therapy Experience?
If you've had a negative therapy experience, it's important to remember that finding the right therapeutic fit is essential for your growth and healing. Each therapist has their own approach, methods, and style, so asking about their therapeutic approach upfront can help set clear expectations. Understanding whether they use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or other techniques can guide you in determining if it aligns with your needs and preferences.
Furthermore, open communication is key in the therapeutic relationship. If you ever feel that you're not getting enough from your sessions, it's crucial to provide feedback to your therapist. Let them know what you feel is lacking or what could be improved. Many therapists welcome this dialogue and can adjust their methods to better suit your needs. Remember, therapy is a collaborative process; your active participation and honest feedback are vital to making the experience as beneficial as possible. By being proactive and communicative, you can transform a challenging experience into an opportunity for deeper understanding and personal growth.
