My treatment methods

Person-centered (Rogerian)

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I am deeply committed to fostering a therapeutic environment grounded in a person-centered approach. This approach, pioneered by Carl Rogers, is at the heart of my practice and guides my interactions with clients. It is based on the belief that every individual has the innate capacity for personal growth and self-healing. In my role, I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Humanistic

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, my practice is rooted in the Humanistic approach. I focus on understanding each client's unique perspective, emphasizing empathy, respect, and personal growth. This approach fosters self-awareness and empowers individuals to realize their full potential in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns to foster positive behavioral changes. Through this evidence-based approach, I empower individuals to develop coping strategies and build resilience for improved mental health and well-being.
