FAQs

One of the biggest breakthrough moments with a client was when a young man felt safe enough to lean into the therapy process, despite perceived stigma.Initially, this young man struggled to express himself and prioritize his wellness. After consistent sessions, this client made significant progress and started to see the benefits of engaging.

Every client will have a slightly different counseling process based on their individual needs and comfortability. I like to start off the counseling process by building rapport and creating a safe and collaborative space. Each session will be based on the client's immediate needs.

The first session will consist of information gathering and rapport building. I invite all of my clients to ask questions and identify their expectations for the process. Building rapport and getting to know each other is critical!

I cherish being a safe space and empathetic ear to people. I love being able to meet all different people and provide support during difficult times.Watching my clients achieve their goals is incredibly rewarding.

Highlights

    What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

    My clients can expect a collaborative process filled with support, connection, and empathy. My clients will leave the session feeling heard and understood. Together, we will identify goals in order to create a personalized treatment plan.

    What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

    I utilize evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Psychoeducation & Trauma-Focused Therapy.

    Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

    Some of my professional strengths include my ability to foster connection, put myself in the client's shoes, and respond with genuineness and empathy. I am consistent and dedicated to my client's progress.
