What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach involves meeting people exactly where they are in the present moment. You do not have to come into therapy knowing where to start, as this is a collaborative process. I believe people are the expert of their own experiences. I provide tools to help you become the best version of yourself. I use evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered, and Strengths-Based therapies as well. Depending on your goals, therapy with me may include utilizing worksheets, question prompts, skill building, learning more about mental health and wellness, and learning ways to reconnect with yourself.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Finding the "right" therapist can feel like a lot. I have experienced that myself, so I strive to facilitate a supportive process where you can meet with me and get further support to match your needs. To me the right therapist is someone who creates a safe space where you feel heard and comfortable enough to explore your experiences. That way, you can fully address challenges and possible root causes from a helpful perspective.
