WHY I BECAME A THERAPIST

Everyone needs support in navigating life’s challenges from time to time. We all have different thoughts and beliefs that affect how we interpret our experiences and interact with the world. One thing I know is we all need is to be heard and understood, and that’s what I’m here to do. I work to help individuals overcome struggles and achieve an optimal sense of well-being by fostering resilience, self-love, and self-compassion. I want people to know that It’s never too late (or too early!) to create the changes needed to live the life you want to be living.

 

I BECAME A THERAPIST TO HELP PEOPLE FEEL SUPPORTED ON THEIR PATH TO LIVING THEIR BEST LIFE.

WHEN WORKING WITH CLIENTS, I USE A PERSON-CENTERED AND STRENGTHS-BASED APPROACH TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR OWN UNIQUE STRENGTHS AND POSITIVE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE WORLD. THROUGH THE THERAPY PROCESS, WE CREATE GOALS AND WORK TOGETHER TO HELP YOU CREATE A MEANINGFUL LIFE.

Every client is different and I use an integrative approach to meet your unique needs. During our work together, I will help you identify your strengths and embrace your experiences in order to cultivate self-acceptance and personal growth. Through self-exploration, we can work to shift limiting beliefs and identify a fresh perspective that aligns with your goals and values. I will help you make meaning of your own experiences and find motivation and hope for the future you wish to create.

 

When I work with clients, I incorporate THREE THINGS to create positive change:

strengths | empathy | self-awareness

I create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to uncover important and often undiscovered traits about yourself. We then work together to work towards the life you want to be living. We work together to build self-awareness while identifying and implementing changes you want to make to improve your happiness and overall quality of life. Through the therapy process, I love watching clients reach their goals and foster self-love and self-confidence on their path towards living a more fulfilling life.
 
 
 

WHO I WORK WITH

I specialize in working with adults, emerging adults, and teens who are experiencing anxiety and depression, low self-esteem and self worth, body image issues, relationship issues, and life transitions.
 

My area of expertise is helping young people to establish their identity, cultivate self-esteem and self-confidence, and navigate difficult changes among the many pressures facing young people today.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED THERAPY?

Therapy can be beneficial for almost everyone, whether you have a specific issue or goal you are hoping to work on or you just feel like something isn’t working in your life but don’t know what. Therapy is a helpful way to learn how to cope with whatever challenges you’re experiencing, gain new perspectives, and build self-confidence on your path toward living a more happy and fulfilling life. I’m here to meet you wherever you are on this journey.
