As an LMFT my main focus is meeting the client where they are. I believe every person is deserving of a safe space to process, share, and grow from life's challenges and changes. Thus, I use different approaches such as CBT, solution focused, and psychodynamic to help clients reach their goals. The past 5 years I have been working with adolescents and young adults struggling with life stages, depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma.
Taking the first step into therapy is often the hardest, so I pride myself in creating an open and safe space at the very start of our journey. I believe in the power of having a therapeutic partnership where vulnerability, mutual communication, and receptiveness are in the forefront of our therapeutic journey. I am here to actively listen, foster deep personal insight, and support you in achieving the meaningful goals that resonate with who you are.
In our introductory session we will go over how therapy works, how you are feeling about starting your therapeutic journey, and what brought you to therapy. I know it can feel daunting speaking to a stranger so I like to include a small icebreaker to help create a warm and comfortable environment from the very beginning. Before the end of the session we will work together in creating a goal that aligns and feels attainable to you.
