Welcome to therapy! My goal when entering a therapeutic relationship is to provide a safe, inclusive, and nonjudgmental space to tell your story. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life, and I am here to support and empower you in that journey. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy techniques to help you improve your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and work on achieving your personal goals in a timely manner. The goal is to work on your perception of your issues through a different lens and to understand that you have the power to make meaningful changes in the healing process.
Helping you via a holistic approach of mind, body, and spirit wellness is to address your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual needs, with a focus on healthy coping skills toward creating balance in your life. This approach puts you the client, not your diagnosis or your symptoms, at the center of your treatment plan.
I believe that connection and building rapport with my clients is the crux of the therapeutic alliance via active listening and supportive counseling. I am committed to providing a therapeutic environment that is warm, safe, personal, and supportive as you navigate through life's difficulties, learn new skills to achieve your goals, and reach your potential.
