My ideal client is navigating challenges like substance use, life transitions, sadness, anxiety, relationship issues, poor self-advocacy, hyper-independence, or low self-esteem. They often feel overwhelmed and struggle with unhealthy coping mechanisms. Their needs include a safe space for exploration, effective communication tools, and strategies for self-expression. Their goals are to build confidence, establish healthier relationships, and find purpose. They want to reclaim control over their lives and break free from limiting patterns, seeking empowerment and personal growth to live authentically and fulfill their potential.
I empower clients through Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). DBT enhances emotional regulation and relationships, while CBT helps challenge negative thought patterns. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space for open exploration. Together, we'll build self-advocacy skills, set achievable goals, and celebrate wins.
I understand that reaching out for support can feel daunting, especially if you’ve faced challenges in the past. It’s natural to seek connection and guidance during difficult times. I’m here to create a supportive environment where you can explore your emotions and experiences without judgment. If you’re ready to take that next step, I am here to help.
