First session
In our first session we will introduce ourselves, discuss why you are interested in therapy, and devise a plan to address your needs. We will update the plan as your needs change and as you progress.
Strengths
My greatest strength as a therapist is that I listen for the heart of the issue. I ensure that my clients feel heard. I offer a safe space with no judgement nor embarrassment, and I am passionate about empowering my clients to address their challenges successfully.
Ideal clients
I want to work with adults who realize that their feelings of sadness, anger, worry, loneliness, fear, or worthlessness have lingered too long and want to think and feel better. It is perfectly okay to feel uncertain about the benefits of talk therapy (psychotherapy), however I can guarantee that if you allow yourself the space to process your issues and learn the tools that work for you, You will recognize Your progress.
Origin story
I became a therapist because I have worked with people throughout the years that have experienced inner turmoil, low self-esteem, and anxiety, and have been that person who has experienced the same. I have learned the tools to live a healthier life and am purposed to help others to do the same.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to educate individuals about their thought processes and to support them in applying coping techniques and behavior change that promote a higher quality of life.
Faith-based therapy
To those interested, I educate and support individuals to apply basic Christian principles for living that promote healing and peace of mind.
Supportive
I incorporate Supportive Therapy in all sessions to validate, encourage, and inspire individuals by actively listening and providing emotional support.
