Typically, the initial session involves a comprehensive assessment designed to understand the presenting problems and collaboratively create a treatment plan to address the distressing issues. My approach is evidence-based and holistic with a focus on the spectrum of mental health and substance abuse adult population. I am goal-oriented, humorous, authentic, compassionate, purposeful, and professionally grounded.
As a provider, my greatest strength is the capability to develop an empathetic and genuine connection with my clients. I acknowledge the uniqueness of my clients and adopt a non-judgmental stance to create a safe environment that allows my clients to fully express their concerns. I actively listen to their challenges and validate their feelings, thoughts, and emotions. My authenticity helps foster a therapeutic alliance built on trust and purposeful collaboration to engender the healing process.
My clinical background is in outpatient services with a focus on clients experiencing depression, ADHD, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, and substance use.
CBT is one of my preferred treatment models in my practice and has been utilized in varied ways to address thoughts, feelings, and maladaptive behaviors. I employ CBT to identify and challenge any negative thoughts. Also, I use it to restructure client’s irrational thought patterns that culminate in changed behaviors.
