I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. My approach Person Centered, Humanistic, CBT My focus Stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy related issues, low self-esteem, low/depressed mood, and emotional dysregulation. My communication style I try to make my clients feel comfortable. I'm open, accepting, genuine, and very straightforward. I am by no means perfect, so there is no need for my clients to perform, speak with perfect grammar, or convey their thoughts perfectly. My journey to mental healthcare Ironically, therapy helped me start my journey to becoming a therapist. I had always wanted to be a therapist but never had enough faith in myself to achieve that goal. Before I started therapy on my own, I thought I had a limit on just how much I could achieve. Therapy opened my eyes to new ways of thinking and an infinite amount of choices that I didn't even know existed to not just myself, but everyone who was made aware that they exist. Therapy changed my life in so many awesome ways, and I feel privileged to be able to pay it forward. My goals for you I empower those I work with to determine what they would like to work on in sessions. I am the support to help them reach their goals. My first session with you The usual legal topics including the limits of confidentiality and what the client's rights are; a discussion about the client's history with mental health care and any questions they may have about the process; and questions about the client's history.
