Throughout this journey called life, there are several obstacles, challenges, stressors, and disappointments you will face that contribute to feeling down and out. I have worked with a variety of individuals, ranging from children to adults, experiencing depression, anger, and anxiety, to name a few. My counseling style is to come alongside you and, through collaboration, accomplish your goals. My counseling approach incorporates the mind, body, and soul and utilizes an array of therapeutic techniques and theories.
In the first session, there will be introductions and a brief assessment. The assessment will capture any underlying health concerns and development. We will discuss your reason for attending therapy and the goals you desire to achieve. From there, we will collaboratively create a treatment plan to guide future sessions.
I am supportive, motivating, non-judgmental, and encourage you to fully express your voice knowing that you are being heard. I am open, warm, considerate, and respectful concerning the thoughts and feelings of others. I look forward to working with you on your journey towards empowerment!

CBT encompasses thoughts, feelings, and behavior. I use this method to educate clients to question their thoughts, challenge them for validity, and reconstruct thoughts when necessary to improve their mental health.
