Mental Health Counselor
My ideal client would be someone going through a challenging transition in their life. They may have issues accepting a new situation or challenging themselves into a new role and need support in having success in moving forward with achieving happiness in their new situation. I would like to help empower my clients to accomplish their goals no matter where they are in their journey.
I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults who are striving to solidify their identity and determine their future aspirations and goals. I provide an empathetic, non-judgmental, and strength-based approach with my clients to support them with unconditional positive regard. I primarily utilize a person-centered approach, while working with an understanding of system’s theory. I also use as CBT and DBT skills in order to help the client develop coping strategies to utilize on their own.
I welcome clients to bring their own ideas of what might be beneficial to them to our sessions. I strongly believe that my clients are the experts on themselves, as well as providing my clients with a safe, warm, and welcoming environment for them to discuss their concerns. I am open to utilizing different and creative modalities in order to meet each individual client’s needs. I consider myself very openminded, empathetic, as well as a strong advocate for my clients.
