My approach
My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy and unconditional support. I specialize in addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions, tailoring my methods to each client's unique needs and goals. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to modify negative thought patterns, trauma-informed care to foster healing, and psychodynamic therapy to explore past influences on present behaviors. Additionally, I employ Solution-Focused Therapy to build on strengths, mindfulness for stress management, and ensure cultural competence to respect diverse backgrounds.
My focus
Children and Adolescents: Supporting young people facing emotional and behavioral challenges, and educating caregivers on effective approaches. Adults with Mental Health Conditions: Helping individuals manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. Couples: Identifying and improving communication patterns to build strong, healthy relationships. Families: Strengthening communication, resolving conflicts, and enhancing relationships within families. LGBTQ+ Individuals: Providing affirming therapy to support mental health and self-acceptance.
My communication style
In therapy, I create a non-judgmental, empathetic, and authentic space where clients can freely express themselves. I collaborate closely with clients to set goals, develop strategies, and problem-solve, respecting their autonomy while maintaining a supportive therapeutic relationship. My approach is genuine, honest, and transparent, aimed at fostering stability and calm to facilitate exploration and growth. Together, we will embark on a collaborative goal-setting journey to enhance your progress and focus treatment. We'll identify motivations, explore values and strengths, and define clear objectives. Regular reviews and adjustments ensure we stay on track, celebrating achievements and adapting as needed. Self-reflection will empower you to take ownership of your progress toward a more fulfilling life.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey into this field began with a personal understanding of generational trauma, sparking a passion for supporting others and delving into human behavior. Throughout my career, I've worked extensively with diverse populations, honoring my skills in various mental health settings including with children (Birth-18), adults (19+, and in contexts such as adoption and substance abuse.
