I am a licensed mental health therapist and have been practicing for over 22 years. Quality of care over quantity has always been my goal and desire. I enjoy seeing people grow and flourish in life by developing positive energy and motivation from sessions. I have had extensive training in CBT and Trauma Focused CBT. Working with people from different cultural backgrounds as well as age categories excites me and helps me to expand my knowledge on how to better be of assistance to others. You can find additional information on my website at www.statewideserenitycounseling.com.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I am a certified cognitive behavioral therapist and have been using this method for years. It is practiced in sessions by identifying primary concerns and needs, incorporating problem solving skills, effective communication skills and social functioning skills to identify connections between thoughts, feelings and actions.

Christian Counseling

I have provided Christian based therapy by applying methods and techniques that are Bible based practices to address internalizing concerns and disruptions in activities of daily living.

Couples Counseling

Couples counseling practices are used to address relationship barriers, communication patterns and techniques using various assignments and mocking practices in session. Couples counseling also entails identifying love languages, problem solving skills, reflection, and various activities to increase relationships building techniques.

Trauma-Focused CBT

I am a certified TF-CBT therapist and focus on the 8 components of TF-CBT which are addressing assessment and engagement, psychoeducation, relaxation, parenting, affective modulation, cognitive coping, trauma narrative and safety.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

I mainly utilize person centered therapy where I focus on genuineness and congruence, unconditional positive regard, and empathetic responses as well as guidance and self awareness.
