I firmly believe in meeting the client in where they are in their life’s journey, creating a place free of judgment or barriers. I believe everyone has the chance for personal growth and can benefit from therapy. The mind can create cognitive distortions which are inaccurate thoughts that produce negative emotions. My belief is that challenging those negative thoughts at their onset is the best line of defense to keep you from reinforcing the negative thought pattern.
I obtained therapeutic experience working in both an inpatient mental health facility and a private practice setting with various acuity levels. This includes clients who have suffered from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and different levels of trauma. I have counseled diverse backgrounds and all age groups ranging from pediatrics to geriatrics.
If your life events are becoming overwhelming, please feel free to reach out to me to begin processing your feelings. I'd love to hear from you.
