From the age of 5, I found myself helping others, whether it be adults or others my age. I was the one others came to when needing to feel safe and to share issues that arose. I found joy and purpose in being supportive and having a positive impact on others. As I got older, I saw the effects of being undiagnosed and not receiving professional help after significant life changes and traumatic events. I wanted to continue to help those around me and my larger community. I am also passionate about breaking the stigma around mental illness and advocating for each client that I work with and their needs.
Every client that walks into the door (or on the screen) to their first session is met with a smile and attentiveness. I will ask clarifying questions and listen with care while understanding that building rapport and trust is key to a positive experience in therapy. I am open to modifying treatment and providing education on diagnoses and symptom’s to help my clients better understand what they are going through. I build therapeutic alliance by creating a space that is safe, confidential, and understanding. I am aware the client is the expert in there own life, and practice a attentive listening, and transparency. I acknowledge and respect client’s autonomy while collaborating to set attainable goals, that then result in a positive change and reduced symptoms for clients.
