I truly saw the need for more mental health professionals in my community when I lost my father in 2006. Since that day, I began my journey of understanding the mind and how it works. We go through many major life transitions such as breakups, divorce, having children, new professions, loss of income, moving, pandemic stress and more. Most do not realize just how traumatic these seemingly “normal” events are to us at times. I am here to help you if you feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, angry or confused concerning anything that has been thrown at you in your life. If you feel that what you are dealing with is too much to handle on your own, please reach out to me. We cannot stop this cycle of numbing or ignoring mental health issues in our world if we do not start within. As a mental health advocate, I am here for you. I have seen the impact of a lack of relatable and accessible mental health programs and providers. I am here to be the bridge and get you the solutions, support, and guidance you need.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, therapy clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where we'll establish rapport and discuss their goals for therapy. Drawing from my training in EMDR and CBT, clients can anticipate a collaborative approach focused on understanding their concerns, identifying coping strategies, and beginning the journey towards healing and personal growth. We'll work together to create a treatment plan tailored to their needs, emphasizing evidence-based techniques to facilitate progress and promote lasting positive change.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My strengths consist of being passionate for helping others, good listener, believes in people being able to be their best selves and reliable.

My treatment methods

EMDR

I have been trained in EMDR by the Trauma Training Institute December 2023. This form of therapy has been identified as one of the leading treatments when with working with trauma, depression and anxiety.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

It's based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), but it's specially adapted for people who feel emotions very intensely. The aim of DBT is to help you: Understand and accept your difficult feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with my clients because it offers practical tools to identify and change negative thought patterns, behaviors, and emotions. CBT empowers clients to develop coping strategies and skills that promote long-term psychological well-being. Its evidence-based approach ensures effective treatment tailored to individual needs.
