About My Clients
My clients are typically wanting something different in their lives; seeking changes but unsure of how to get there. My clients are motivated to see these changes and willing to do the work even though it is hard, they trust it will be worth it. My clients are open-minded to feedback, willing to listen and share. My clients know that I will not judge them because they trust me and sense my compassion. They know that I am their advocate, their support, and willing to have the tough talks.
My Background and Approach
My background has been working with diverse and vulnerable individuals. This led me to social work in the mental health setting and providing therapy. Over the years of practice and training, I have found some therapies tend to be more effective than others. Therefore, I base my approach on evidence-based, tried and tested techniques such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior therapy, and Behavioral Activation. Let's talk more about how therapy can be an effective way to see the changes you are looking for. The power of our mind can be one of our greatest assets. My approach is also strengths-based, meaning that by exploring, developing, and enhancing one's talents/interests/resources, people are able to find what they are looking for and/or overcome life's challenges.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
It is my personal belief that anyone and everyone can benefit from counseling/mental health therapy. I believe that with the right therapist, we can discover the answers, skills, healing, and perspective that enhances our experience with ourselves and the world around us. I believe that people benefit from having an objective person outside of one's everyday life to share things that may one may not feel comfortable sharing with others due to fear of judgement, etc. Letting out some of these thoughts and feelings can be a great release and even improve our physical health. As a social worker, my code of ethics deems that I advocate and assist those who are vulnerable, and actively fight against injustice.
