I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 5 years of experience in the Mental Health Counseling and Rehabilitation fields. My experience is varied as I have worked with veterans, women, children, victims of abuse, couples, families, and teenagers. I use a client-centered approach that focuses on increasing the clients' insight and giving them the tools so that they can navigate life's problems on their own.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
You are taking a big step in reaching out for help. I am here for you to make it easier to reach your goals while providing a supportive and comfortable environment for you to discuss your inner feelings and thoughts. I look forward to meeting with you!
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These therapies are well-established and they help us to understand how the way we feel is influenced by our thoughts. I can help you learn strategies that manage stress and minimize dysfunctional feelings.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have worked with clients suffering from various symptoms of depression, anxiety, substance abuse, ADHD, anger, guilt, relationship difficulties, parenting problems, and family issues. I have also treated clients who have experienced sexual, physical, and emotional trauma.
