LMHC, 8 years of experience
Am a Therapist with experience in intensive therapeutic interventions designed to stabilize individuals in crisis. Am a highly skilled, compassionate and empathetic professional with a solution-oriented viewpoint in providing exceptional care while implementing effective treatment and supportive plans for children, adolescents and adults experiencing or exposed to life’s tougher challenges/addictions. I have a demonstrated track record of success supporting people in learning new skills to manage and overcome social, emotional, psychological and addiction struggles. Finally, am comfortable working with a diverse selection of clients in one-on-one or group settings.
I will welcome you warmly and engage in some small talk to establish rapport with you; i will encourage openness while actively listening. I will clarify goals and expectations and provide reassurance about the collaborative approach we will be utilizing to solve the issues.
Having worked with people experiencing life's challenges from all strata of society for the past 8 years, i have acquired a steadiness that lends itself to helping identify the root cause of problems and also helping shape answers/solutions to them.
I love working with young professionals who are eager to make their mark but lack the tools to get them firmly entrenched on their preferred path. My solution focused approach gets the job done.
CBT involves efforts to change thinking patterns & learning to recognize distortions in thinking that create problems and learn strategies to change them .
DBT is an offshoot, evidence based psychotherapy (of CBT )that is especially useful in treating Substance Abuse Disorders, PTSD and other behavioral dysregulation disorders.
