I am a Licensed Profession Counselor with experience working with people from a variety of backgrounds and strive to be both culturally inclusive and trauma-informed. I primarily work with adults and take a holistic approach, which means I believe in addressing concerns in every area of your life.
My therapeutic approach primarily draws from a person-centered, strength-based approach, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy and I always cater my approach to the unique needs of each person. My goal is to partner with you and create a safe and supportive space that allows you to address your concerns, improve your overall health and achieve your goals.
The focus in our first session will be on establishing a good partnership which will require answering each other's questions with an emphasis on getting an understanding of your needs and expectations. I will ask about your safety, current circumstances and concerns, your overall health, your background, if you've had any previous experience with therapy and begin to identify some goals. Be assured that I will listen intently and non-judgmentally however do not feel pressured to share beyond your level of comfort.
