As a licensed counselor, I am dedicated to helping clients navigate life's challenges and achieve personal growth. I serve individuals dealing with a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship issues. Through techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I support clients in identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns, equipping them with tools to manage stress and improve resilience. My goal is to empower clients to make meaningful changes that enhance their mental well-being and enrich their lives.
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and setting a foundation for your counseling journey. I’ll ask questions to better understand your background, concerns, and what brings you to counseling. This will also be an opportunity for you to share your goals, expectations, and any specific issues you’d like to address. We’ll discuss how therapy works, including confidentiality and my approach, so you know what to expect. The first session is a time for us to establish a comfortable, open space where you feel supported as we begin working toward your goals.
I create a warm and accepting environment, making it easier for clients to open up and trust the process. I skillfully apply CBT to help clients reshape their thinking patterns, promoting real change in how they view themselves and their challenges. I aim to empower clients with tools and skills they can use beyond sessions, fostering independence and long-term growth.
In practice sessions, I apply Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and change unhelpful thought patterns that influence their feelings and behaviors. We work together to identify specific thoughts that may be contributing to distress or challenges, then use structured exercises to reframe these thoughts, build healthier coping mechanisms, and foster positive behavioral changes. By focusing on current issues and setting achievable goals, CBT empowers clients to develop skills for managing their symptoms and improving their overall quality of life.
