My passions align with assisting individuals through the therapeutic process who are facing challenges and difficulties in managing their day to day. My focus consists of building a therapeutic alliance with children/adolescents and adults to work through challenges leading to their overall growth and full potential.
My approach is considered eclectic in addressing each client's specific needs, which can significantly differ. It’s essential to build a therapeutic alliance, which simply means building a relationship and dynamic of trust, empathy, honesty, and understanding inside a safe place to be your true self freely and openly with no judgments. Developing appropriate coping skills to manage emotions, life stressors, and problems is vital in my sessions.
I strive to be a nonjudgmental ally for all clients who find themselves seeking therapy and working towards achieving their personal goals. Oftentimes, we build maladaptive coping skills due to modeled behavior, life experiences, or simply for survival so challenging them may seem impossible, but I am here to say it is not. Disrupting those maladaptive skills will require patience with yourself, but having support in therapy makes the process obtainable and manageable.
