I am a Registered Mental Health Intern with roughly 2 years of experience in therapeutic work, specializing mainly in grief/loss, trauma, and behavioral disorders. I have experience in telehealth video sessions as well as in-person work. My main approach with clients is humanistic and heavily client-centered; the other main component to my approach is trauma-focused work.
I cannot wait to begin a new journey with you. Mentors in the past have told me that, every client is the foremost experts on themselves—and I agree! In counseling, my main goal is to support you while you take the next steps in your personal journey. My office and conversations with me are a safe space for us to find you in the middle of.
I have dabbled in a few positions in order to learn how to help each client individually, to tailor my approach. My main goal has always been to land in private practice, engaging in the face to face work with each client. My most expansive experience is with those struggling with:
Although my service with clients has ranged across all ages and many disorders or life situations, I primarily work with:
I welcome all individuals regardless of religion, age, gender, sexuality, ability, culture,and more. Clients will find in session with me, they are at the ‘helm’ of our journey. I believe that as a client in the therapeutic space, my obligation is to be alongside you as we engage in the work involved in handling your presenting issue. This means that what a client comes to the therapeutic space with is what we will tackle, together. I do tailor each approach to each client, and our work together is a collaboration between us.
Clients can expect a session with me to look like 50 minutes spent focusing on what they bring into the room. I understand that the thread that runs through therapeutic work is non-linear, so whatever you bring to the table, we will unwrap it regardless of the subject.
I make use of several modalities while working with clients, including CBT, DBT, person-centered theory, humanistic theory, mindfulness interventions, polyvagal interventions, and trauma-focused interventions.
My combination of interventions mean that my approach in session is significantly guided by clients and, specifically means that the focus is on building a strong therapeutic relationship before we delve into deeper parts of our work together. I am able to meet with clients in person as well as over telehealth.
