What should a new client know about working with you?
It is a great honor to walk beside you on this journey. As your therapist, I accept you as you are and not as you should be. Although I believe that therapy is a self-healing process, I am here to hold space for you and provide tools to assist you as you navigate your life experience.
In 2019, I transitioned into Community Mental Health, where I have practiced different therapeutic models with individuals from all walks of life. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all experience, which is why I adopt many therapeutic lenses and tailor them to each client.
If you are ready to have me as a part of your therapeutic journey, I look forward to meeting you!
I am a dedicated mental health therapist with a passion for building authentic human connections where my clients feel safe, respected, and seen. I deeply believe in the inherent worth and dignity of all humans. I encourage you to bring your complete self—your strengths and successes along with your messes and complexities. From this space, I help you develop resilience and skills to build a rich and meaningful life with deeper connections to others. Embarking on the journey of self-discovery and growth through therapy is hard work, but it can positively alter the course of your life.
My approach to therapy comes from a wide range of experiences in the mental health field since 2017. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings within community mental health, serving a diverse clientele including victims of trauma and abuse, individuals dealing with severe and persistent mental illness, and families involved in the foster care system. My practice involves utilizing various therapeutic models tailored to each client's unique needs:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as
exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important
to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
