and adults in general who are experiencing life transitions that are proving to be difficult to manage. I work to help clients find helpful ways of coping, while also addressing the core of the issues that they are dealing with.
First session
In our first session, we will discuss what is most important to focus on and the approach we would like to take. From there, individual therapy sessions will be focused on the issues being dealt with day in and day out. I will partner with clients to tailor sessions to address their concerns and what's getting in the way of them living a more stress-free life.
Strengths
Empowering clients to feel more in control of their lives and helping them to be better equipped to deal with what life throws their way is one of my favorite things about my work. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space so that we can explore beliefs, fears, etc. that impact their functioning. Connecting with my clients is an important piece to build an authentic relationship and experience in our therapeutic journey together. I will encourage my clients to be their true self with me, as I will do the same for them.
Ideal clients
I work with clients who are stressed, overwhelmed, and feel defeated by day to day demands, while also trying to manage their own emotions and feelings about various life events, both past and present. I work with clients to improve communication with others about their needs, help them better be able to prioritize themselves, and work through the barriers that prevent them from being able to feel more at peace.
