The way I see and understand therapy is that it is a space for every individual to feel safe physically, mentally, and emotionally in order to let down their walls without any judgment, bias, or criticism. I believe in meeting each and every individual where they are at in terms of their mental health journey, no matter how small or large the reason for coming to therapy is. Some of the most fundamental parts of therapy I incorporate include exploring and learning about the self, identifying strengths and harnessing them, incorporating holistic ways of optimizing mental health, and simple psychoeducation.
I utilize a strengths-based and client-centered approach which means I believe in identifying/exploring your strengths to increase your quality of life which will allow you to take control of your life. I specialize in helping others with anxiety, stress, relationship issues, self-concept, life transitions, and mood. I can also support in areas listed below.
I also have extensive experience with college students and individuals in their 20s. I value exploring any thought, feeling, or issue aside from primary reasons for coming to therapy as I know that life continues to happen on a daily basis. I will be a listening ear, helpful guide, and your biggest supporter. Contact me below to book a free consultation!
