Erik Erikson said, “Life doesn’t make any sense without interdependence. We need each other, and the sooner we learn that the better for us all.” Some view seeking help as a sign of weakness, but in fact, it exudes strength and can yield positive results. Ensuring the comfortability of each individual beginning and during the therapeutic process is a top priority. As we work diligently to build strong rapport and trust, the expectation is to learn all about YOU. Through discussions, we will work to heal from trauma, cope with anxiety, practice resilience, and confront your fears in a safe environment.
I have developed a special approach that includes empathic listening, validation of your emotions, identifying/altering unfavorable behaviors, working to create/maintain healthy relationships, devising personalized coping strategies, and exercising healthier habits. Self-reflection will help to reach goals, identify values, and understand your potential.
My experience has equipped me with tools/knowledge to aid diverse clients, practice cultural competency, maintain ethical standards/expectations, and most importantly focus on you. The good life is a process, not a destination. Like a GPS (Great Personal Support), allow me to help you effectively navigate your journey to being the best version of yourself.
