My Approach to Helping
All people need to feel understood. To have someone really see you and get who you are can be powerful. As a therapist, I seek to understand my clients on a deep level and help them understand themselves this way also. This provides a foundation for more meaningful work together. My role in this work is to empower you to be the best and most authentic version of yourself that you can be and to help you navigate and work through challenges along the way.
I have experience working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and difficulty with life changes. I enjoy working with clients on overcoming past trauma, especially. Also, I communicate well with people who speak English as a second language. (I taught English for two years in Ukraine.)
Comunico bien con personas que hablan inglés como segunda lengua. (Enseñé inglés por dos años en Ucrania.) Sin embargo, no soy hablante nativa de español. Por eso, para ofrecer los mejores servicios de terapia que puedo y para tratar de evitar malentendidos, prefiero trabajar con clientes que hablan por lo menos un poco de inglés o con niños o adolescentes bilingües que tienen padres que hablan español.
