About
Life can be a series of challenges where we find ourselves dealing with trauma, emotional pain, and confusion. You are not alone on this journey! As your therapist, I will work with you collaboratively to address what you want to achieve in our time together. I work with young adults and adult clients experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma, post-traumatic stress, grief, and loss. I also work with the following: professionals experiencing career and personal stress, first responders (healthcare & law enforcement), and survivors of trauma and abuse. I have worked at several settings from community mental health, outpatient, inpatient and in the public sector. My 15 years working in the mental health field has brought me in-depth understanding and experiences working with different cultural backgrounds and populations. I strive to continue learning for the rest of my career so that I can continue to understand and gain clarity on how to best serve my clients. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy where we explore thought patterns, identify emotions associated with those patterns, and provide you with the tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. I also use Psychodynamic techniques, where we explore unconscious thoughts, inner emotions, memories, and how our past experiences shape our current perceptions. I will explore with my clients' which types of other therapy modalities and techniques can possibly fit their needs so we can move towards making progress. Therapy is a process, and each person has a unique timeline. We will work together in creating a plan to set realistic goals. In our sessions, we will address progress and explore any barriers or setbacks. I want to make each session as meaningful as possible for you as you continue towards achieving your desired outcome! Thank you for taking the time to read through my profile and I hope to work with you soon!
