Pronouns: She/her/hers
Therapy Style: Challenging, Non-judgmental, Warm
I knew I was called to become a therapist since I was in high school. I always had a draw to want to help others.
I regularly check with my client’s to gauge that what we are doing is working. I always share that I am flexible is style and usage of skills. I tailorize each person’s therapy based on needs and comfortability.
On the first intake appointment, I will review a few pertinent policies and mandates. At that appointment, I will also gather information as to what led to the initial appointment and explore goals of therapy. At the next appointment, I usually start with using the feelings wheel to explore emotions from the week and process the content of the week. Additionally, I usually have a skill prepared from cognitive behavioral therapy or dialectical behavioral therapy to address some of the goals identified from the intake appointment. At the closing of the appointment, I check in with each client asking if they felt this format worked for them or if they would like me to add or take away from anything that was done from the appointment to gauge each person’s style and needs.
My job is to hold space for others, sometimes therapy is the only space one can feel this. I always share that I have a lose format for therapy but can adapt each session pending on each person’s needs when meeting and with keeping to the treatment goals. My hope is that safety is established with the help of me reassuring I am a support and can implement needs shared with me.
