I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, trained in EMDR. My areas of expertise include trauma/PTSD, anxiety, and women's issues. I strive to positively impact your life through compassionate and effective therapy. I am dedicated to helping you navigate life's challenges with empathy and understanding. With years of experience, my approach is tailored to meet your unique needs, offering a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your strengths and challenges.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, my priority is to help you feel comfortable and relaxed. I want you to know that this is a safe space where you can share anything on your mind. I believe in building a strong rapport so that we can get to know each other and create a relaxed environment before we dive into the therapeutic process.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I listen with compassion and give you my full attention during our sessions, ensuring that I’m entirely focused on you. I also equip you with practical skills to use outside of therapy, helping you to improve your life in meaningful ways.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have primarily utilized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with most of my clients. We start by identifying the issues at hand and collaboratively setting goals. I encourage my clients to explore new ways of thinking and behaving, while also teaching them practical skills to tackle unhelpful thoughts and actions. I monitor their progress closely and maintain a supportive relationship to assist them in achieving lasting changes.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I practice person-centered therapy with my clients by prioritizing the development of a trusting and empathetic relationship, ensuring they feel accepted and understood. I encourage them to explore their feelings and experiences at their own pace, utilizing reflective listening to facilitate their insights. Rather than offering advice or direction, I focus on empowering my clients to make their own choices and pursue personal growth within a culturally sensitive context.
EMDR
As a therapist trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), I offer evidence-based treatment for trauma. This approach involves specific eye movements while you process traumatic memories. The primary aim of EMDR is to facilitate healing from trauma and other challenging life experiences. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR does not necessitate discussing distressing issues in detail. Instead, it concentrates on altering the emotions, thoughts, or behaviors that stem from a traumatic experience, enabling your brain to return to its natural healing process.
