What should a new client know about working with you?

Change is one of the few constants in life... but we all have been in a place where a "change" on how we relate, reason and think ... has been easier said than done. When was the last time that you looked into you? As a fellow human being, I know that feeling vulnerable can be unbearable. I believe that we all deserve to be seen and heard, without judgements. I utilize a resiliency-based, trauma informed, and individual centered approach. I also integrate multiple evidence-based interventions, such as: -Cognitive Behavioral Therapy -Solution Focused Therapy -Behavioral Activation -Narrative Therapy -Acceptance and Commitment Therapy -Mindfulness Training -Motivational Interviewing -Crisis Intervention and Safety Planning I truly enjoy listening to people and empower them to find in therapy a safe space and meaning of their life "story". Find in me an ally, as I also strive on accompanying people to find a personal growth and make informed decisions about their mental health.
