LPC, 12 years of experience
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision from Liberty University. Since 2013, I have been helping individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, grief, relationship issues, and life transitions. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where clients can heal, regain balance, and return to living fully. I believe that with the right support, people can move beyond their struggles, strengthen their resilience, and rediscover hope for the future.
My approach to therapy is strengths-based, meaning that as we journey together, you will develop a more resilient and authentic self. And how your strengths and challenges support your best self. I look forward to accompanying you at every juncture of your journey.
My style is non-directive and client-centric. I incorporate God-centric interventions for interested clients to help them be congruent with their belief systems. I am highly motivated to assist you in any setting through your unique challenges. As a culturally sensitive therapist, I integrate the cultural values of my clients into our sessions. offering hope and support so that my clients feel heard and understood.
I value working with clients who are ready to grow and make positive changes in their lives. While seeking help can feel overwhelming, support is always within reach. Through a collaborative and compassionate process, I walk alongside clients as they work toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life.
I use CBT to assist clients recognize their negative thought patterns and work with them to challenge and reframe these thoughts. This process involves questioning the evidence for these thoughts, examining their usefulness, and considering alternative, more balanced ways of thinking. It also includes behavioral experiments and activities where the client tries new ways of acting, problem-solving skills, and monitoring progress.
In my practice, I blend traditional psychological theories and interventions with integration of Christian principles and scripture to meet the unique needs of clients who are interested in Christian counseling, respecting their spiritual journey and personal beliefs.
