About My Clients
On the outside, you are the picture of success. You are driven, social, seem well put together, and are often praised for being helpful. Despite being successful, hardworking, and seemingly happy, life behind the scenes is really hard for you. You feel exhausted from overthinking and trying so hard to look put together. You feel like you need to have a clear direction of where your life is going right now. But you're terrified of going in the wrong direction. You struggle with anxiety and worry.
My Background and Approach
I work with older teens and adults who are struggling to figure out who they are. They are really hard workers and often seem like overachievers on the outside, but have a lot of self doubt and anxiety on the inside. Having struggled through my own late teens/early 20’s with trying to do everything right and spending a million hours plotting out my life path, I can completely relate to the struggles of those emotions. I have worked with many clients over the years who have amazing long term goals for their lives, but have no idea how to reach them. Their own fears and insecurities often get in the way of their success and although they recognize that, they can’t figure out how to change it on their own.I make sure therapy isn’t boring and stuffy, like it is on tv/movies sometimes. I want it to be a great experience that you look forward to every week! You set the goals and the pace at which we get there. If you’re someone that needs an extra push sometimes, I got you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I take a modern approach to therapy and see it as another version of self care. Some sessions may be really intense as we dive deeper into your emotions and others may be spent acknowledging everything that’s going well, and identifying how to keep it that way. I like incorporating humor, pop culture, dog pics, whatever, into the sessions so we can really connect. The Therapy Suite PLLC is open to working with clients from various backgrounds. Having grown up in Miami until age 23, I have personal experience living in a city rich in diversity in every aspect of life. I also worked for 4 years in a military clinic, where I saw clients from all over the US, as well as various other countries. I have formal education in diversity and inclusion as well, given my masters in social work education and code of ethics of my profession. I also understand that there are some areas where my competence may not be enough and I am comfortable referring clients out to the best fit if I am not it.
