As a beginning licensed therapist I strive to provide an empathic and genuine presence when facing life struggles. Setting aside time for mental health concerns can feel scary and I am here to provide a safe space. I have over 6 years working in the mental health field and have now discovered my strength in helping people navigate through the many ways anxiety shows up in anger, trauma, social life, and depression.
It is important to me that you develop a feel of openness in our sessions so I will often ask for feedback. I find deep importance in acknowledging physical and bodily symptoms and teaching the importance of respecting your own body whether perfectly happy or fighting for your life. Cognitive Behavior Therapy is my go to approach in which I will incorporate exploration of thoughts, mindfulness, problem solving, or sensory/emotion focused.
We will work together on your personal goals. I believe in psycho education to help build awareness. Homework is dependent on each person and can vary from journaling to doing. Treatment with me is respectful of belief systems, values, and abilities with your unique situation.
