About My Clients

The individual clients I best serve are experiencing anxiety and/or depression; are struggling with self-esteem; are going through major life transitions and having difficulty adapting; feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and are ready for a change. I have also worked with young couples and have supported them by strengthening their communication styles so that they feel heard throughout their relationship; have had to face challenges of infidelity; or want to strengthen their emotional connection.

My Background and Approach

The tools that I can provide have been modified to support my clients with their specific needs. I have tools that can support my clients with improving their confidence, improve their communication styles, and/or improve their perspective on different aspects of their life. I am direct, yet empathetic, and focused on my client's needs so that we can develop a solution-focused and concrete goal. We can work collaboratively on how to address your worries, how to navigate the different stages of life and your transitions, and how to prepare you for the next step in your journey. Imagine having a big issue that you have no idea how to tackle, let me gently turn you to face it so we can work through it together. My ultimate goal is for you to feel confident enough to be able to face any barriers you face on your journey through your future.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone is capable of changing their thoughts at any point in time, leading to one changing their habits, routines, and overall perspective on life. I believe if there is intention, there is the possibility of execution in planning and delivering. I believe the experiences one has during childhood shapes their thoughts/beliefs as an adult which can be influenced by factors within different environments. I have been through many stages in life that has led to me to be a therapist and I continue to find ways to give back to my community. At times there was forced resiliency that has made me reflect on my life's choices which led to my own growth and empathy for others. Being the eldest daughter and first-generation graduate, it has forced me to understand the social, political, mental/emotional, and financial challenges that I have endured. I believe anyone can benefit from therapy, if you would like to talk more about what I have to offer send me a message.
