How I Can Help You

My goal is to help women struggling with self-esteem issues to get in touch with their authentic self. If you have issues from your past (ie. trauma, abuse, neglect, lack of support system, etc) causing low self-esteem, it can contribute to symptoms such as depression and anxiety later in life, creating a cycle that feeds insecurity and can cause more disconnect from your inner-self. Let me help you reconnect. Below are some of the confidence-building blocks we can choose from: • Decision Making Skills • Emotional Fluency • Assertiveness Training • Re-framing Negative Thoughts (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) • Identifying Current and Creating a Healthy Attachment Style • Learning To Sit With Discomfort​ • Identifying Your Unique Motivation • Mindfulness Training • Creating Structure From Chaos (creating routine and time management) • Allowing Chaos To Flow Through Structure (relaxing rigidity) -Creative techniques: art, role-playing, musical expression, poetry, journaling

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone is capable of change. There is no single right or wrong in my world. Everyone gets to decide what is best for them. I think every individual is unique, and I want to honor the therapy process that works for them. I am open to creativity in growth, and I believe it is important to pull from an individual's culture, interests, hobbies, even fears in the growth process as they get in touch with themselves. I believe that mindfulness, meditation, yoga, breathing exercises are beneficial in this journey of reconnection, self-exploration, and learning to love one's self. I also tend to think out of the box when it comes to applying evidence-based practices in therapy. However, I am also aware that sometimes all one needs is an ear to listen to them, and we can keep our sessions simple too if that is preferred. No problem at all. I will meet you where you are at, and we will collaborate. I really love my job and look forward to working with you!
