Great to meet you!

Frederick Douglas once said, "Without struggle there can be no progress.” Where we are now as a society and what we are dealing with is a struggle. As individuals and/or a group, we’re experiencing stress like never before. The daily roles we perform takes an immense toll on our minds, bodies and souls. Or, maybe this experience has forced you to focus on yourself in a way you never have before? Let me meet you where you’re at in this moment. Whether you are a caregiver to challenging times to unemployment, etc., let me be your guide and together we can explore your past and/or current issues in your struggle, towards the future, you envision for yourself.

My approach to therapy

While I am versed in helping a client change his/her negative thought patterns or beliefs, I also use other treatments which helps the client with adjusting to difficulties or life transitions. I focus on solutions appropriate for you the client, concentrating on your awareness, and dealing with managing your stress. I believe in creating a “safe space” which nurtures the client-therapist relationship, and leads you towards empowerment and growth. I believe in meeting you where you’re at based on your strengths, needs, history and experiences. Working together we can get you closer to your ideal self. A self, you envision without hesitation and fear, but with hope.

What you can expect from me

During our introductory session we will complete and full intake(biopsychosocial assessment and anything else that may be relevant in your case), so that I can get to know you as a person and the current issue(s) which have brought you to me. It should be noted that I customize my therapy approaches for each individual as everyone is different.
