Seeking a new therapist can be overwhelming. You are courageous for showing up and taking the step to seek the healing you desire. I am a licensed clinical social worker. With me, you will find a nonjudgmental space to share your concerns and gentle guidance to navigate your circumstances that led you to seeking therapy at this time. In my former career as a high school teacher, I personally experienced work stress/burn out, identity and self esteem challenges, poor boundaries, anxiety/depression, and other relational challenges. As a parent, I can also relate to the challenges that family life can bring. I became a therapist because I enjoy helping others to live their best life. It would be my great pleasure to walk this journey with you to greater health and recovery!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session will be focused on information gathering. If you complete intake forms prior to your intake session, that will help us have a more focused and fluid first session. We will go over the reasons why you are seeking therapy at this time, your therapeutic preferences if you have any, your treatment goals, and treatment expectations. You will have the ability to ask any questions concerning your treatment and care. It will also be a time for me to go over important information, such as informed consent, my practice policies, and what to expect in future sessions with me.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I enjoy assisting clients in life transitions, career transitions, self-identity and self-esteem issues, relationship challenges, family conflict and parenting concerns, dealing with grief, depression and anxiety, and overcoming difficult habits/patterns of behavior. I am sensitive to the cultural and spiritual needs of minority and Asian American clients.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Clients that will find the most benefit from therapy sessions with me are motivated and ready to do the "work" of healing for lasting change. They are willing to work on themselves and take ownership over their healing and recovery. They are consistent in attendance to sessions and follow through with treatment recommendations. They are committed to their own growth and come to sessions prepared, actively asking questions and/or having topics to talk about with me. They are open to my clinical recommendations and willing to follow them to the best of their abilities. They communicate in a timely manner when they are unable to attend session and are responsible in rescheduling sessions with me. They respond back to me when I reach out to them by phone or email. Parents of younger clients are responsible in keeping appointments with me and following all treatment recommendations. Accepted age range of clients: 6 to 80.
