LPCC, 7 years of experience
Empowering
Warm
Solution oriented

I work with motivated individuals looking to break cycles and find balance between their authentic self and multifaceted life. I align myself with clients to find individualized interventions that are best suited for their circumstances. I provide a supportive and warm space to express your thoughts and beliefs in an authentic manner. My approach is to be compassionate, nonjudgmental, encouraging, and authentic. I use validation and clarification to ensure that you are feeling heard and understood. I will work with you to challenge maladaptive thoughts and beliefs by personalizing interventions. I also use humor and personality in sessions to guide interventions and connect with clients. In working together, I will help you to find ways to break the cycle and prioritize your well-being.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we will take the time to get a full understanding of the reason you are seeking therapy. I emphasize the importance of building a therapeutic relationship where I get to know who you are as an individual, goals for therapy, and activities that you do enjoy for coping. I also encourage client to start practicing interventions so that we can start to individualize skills by the second session.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I work with clients to treat their depression and anxiety to develop self-love, gain insight and find balance in their lives. A client working with me is looking for balance in their relationship with themselves and others. I encourage clients to prioritize finding their inner peace. I align myself with clients to find coping skills and thought patterns that allow for grounding and growth.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work with adults who are finding ways to live authentically in their life. My clients are motivated to use interventions to improve their daily functioning and improve the way they use coping skills and interact with their social supports. They feel stuck in the maladaptive cycles and struggle to find ways to improve coping and make shifts to improve their perspectives.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

With the use of CBT interventions, I guide clients towards shifting perspectives and learning how to use coping skills to regulate emotions.

Culturally Sensitive Therapy

Culture is an important factor to take into consideration when working to implement interventions. I align myself with clients to find individualized interventions.

Trauma Informed Care

When trauma is experienced, individuals find many ways to cope with the symptoms. I work with clients to identify maladaptive coping skills and ways to implement coping skills that would allow for self compassion and growth.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

I emphasize the use of unconditional positive regard and client centered care in my practice. The individualization of care is a core piece of my therapeutic work with clients.

Psychodynamic

I gently guide clients to identify how behaviors impact ability to engage with others and themselves.
