What should a new client know about working with you?

I work with individuals who are emerging adulthood and adults who are struggling with life transitions and understanding their place in the world. My clients are typically struggling with anxiety, adjustment, depression, and stress due to work and/or relationships. I also enjoy helping individuals work through childhood or adult related trauma by giving them the tools to develop healthy coping mechanisms and assist them in understanding and accepting how this has shaped their lives.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I give my clients a safe space to release the thoughts and emotions they have been holding in, process their trauma, and begin to understand how their past experiences have shaped their life. My hope is that my clients who come into our sessions carrying burdens or stress are able to leave with a sense of peace and reflection.

Selina is a great listener , offers reasonable advice and thoughts on situations. I would recommend her to anyone I know.
I've been seeing Selina for about 3 years now. She has been patient and considerate in listening to me and providing me with steps I can take to improve my mental and emotional health.
Selina shows great care and understanding. She goes out of her way to make sure you are heard and always offers the necessary resources.
Selina is patient and kind and so easy to talk to. She really takes the time to listen to you and provide support in any way she can! She is wonderful, highly recommended.
Selina was my counselor for 3 years through formative years of my young adult life. I left counseling with her when I realized that I had reached a point where I had the personal tools to better and more healthily adjust to changes in my life and in my emotional state. I credit Selina for contributing immensely to me being happy and content in my personhood; I struggled with a lot of self hate. I love who I am now and have the emotional maturity to forgive and love myself and others.
