About My Clients
Have you been avoiding all responsibilities due to a rush of fear or a wave of anxiety? Overwhelming feelings can get very difficult to navigate on our own! I understand the severe impact living with lack of support may have on a person’s growth and ability to navigate through life. It is vital that we gain the supports and positive protective factors to give ourselves the best chance in succeeding in our lives. Together, through a holistic approach we can achieve your mental wellness goals.
My Background and Approach
The alignment of one’s mind, body and soul are key to unlocking the best version of oneself. My goal is to help you succeed in becoming the person you see yourself as or hope to become. Collaboration and teamwork are the foundations of my practice. Through the utilization of my knowledge and expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy as well as Art/ Creative Therapy and Problem-Solving Therapy I can help you develop coping skills and navigate through the struggles you face. By providing trauma informed and client centered care I will create a safe and brave space for you to explore and speak about the struggles you may be facing and how they impact you mentally, physically, and spiritually. Together, we will identify goals, work towards achieving them and navigate all that may arise during our time together. You are not in this alone, and that is the most important thing to remember.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Each action has a rippling impact, and it is our responsibility as human beings to do our part in making this world a bit better day by day. I know the difficulties of growing up in a society where mental health is brushed under the rug and despite all the progress we have made I still see how people are negatively impacted by our society’s views on mental illness. Growing up as a first generation American- Armenian woman, I had to learn how to navigate both gender and cultural norms/ roles, this left me feeling isolated and confused at times. No one should feel alone or un relate-able as they grow up! I now lead my professional and personal life through active engagement in anti- racism practices, alley-ship to and with the LGBTQ + community, self- awareness, and reflection, as well as cultural humility. I believe in leading life with authenticity and transparency, all things begin and end within ourselves.
