Description
During my psychotherapy sessions, I work with adult individuals that desire to explore their identities, after being impacted by a life transition. Some of my clients have experienced the following transitions: grief, becoming a parent, entering the professional field after college, retiring from their professional field, the departure of their adult children from their home', career transitions, entering the caregiver role for an aging parent and much more. My clients desire to explore their identities as they also experience increased anxiety, trauma or depressive symptoms from their life transition. The journey to discovering one's identity is always personal, and no two experiences are the same. Along with providing structured sessions, clients engage in self exploratory exercises that allow them to identify their personal strengths, values, set appropriate boundaries and natural support within their community. I take a strength based approach with clients and practice using cognitive processing along with narrative therapy interventions. My goal in my practice is to create a safe, welcoming environment that explores how lived experiences shape who we are. I take the journey with my clients, helping them build a culturally relevant foundation formed by their unique strengths. Along the way, we work together to establish successful strategies related to each client’s goal to live a more fulfilled and intentional life. Most of my adult clients identify with historically marginalized populations (BIPOC & LGBTQ+ communities). I am able to provide telehealth services to clients in IL, IA, MN, WI, NC, SC, FL, VA and VT. I also offer 30 min and 45 min sessions. Clients can use their HSA/FSA benefits to pay for services.
