I am dedicated to supporting individuals in their journey towards personal growth, healing, and well-being. Through a collaborative and empathetic approach, I provide counseling services that integrate evidence-based techniques tailored to each client's unique needs, helping them navigate life's challenges, develop coping skills, and achieve their goals. With a focus on empowerment and self-discovery, I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences, ultimately fostering positive change and a greater sense of fulfillment in their lives.

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

In the first session, clients can expect to engage in an initial assessment process where we discuss their reasons for seeking therapy, current concerns, and goals for therapy. I will provide a brave and supportive space for clients to share their experiences and express their emotions. Additionally, we will discuss the therapeutic process, confidentiality, and any questions or concerns clients may have. By the end of the session, clients can expect to have a better understanding of how therapy works and to begin exploring potential strategies or approaches to address their needs and goals.

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

As a provider, I believe my greatest strengths lie in my ability to cultivate a compassionate and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences from an authentic perspective. I strive to build a strong therapeutic alliance based on empathy, authenticity, and mutual respect, allowing clients to feel heard, understood, and supported throughout their journey. Additionally, my diverse clinical training and commitment to ongoing professional development enable me to draw from a wide range of therapeutic modalities and evidence-based techniques to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs and goals.

My treatment methods

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I help clients by guiding them to identify and build on their existing strengths and resources to find practical solutions to their challenges. This approach emphasizes setting clear, achievable goals and focusing on the clients' desired future, rather than dwelling on past problems.

Christian Counseling

I integrate faith principles and biblical teachings to help clients find spiritual support and guidance in addressing their challenges. This approach combines psychological techniques with religious values to foster healing, resilience, and a deeper connection to their faith.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their distress. Through structured interventions and homework assignments, clients learn practical skills to change their thinking and behaviors, leading to improved emotional well-being and coping strategies.

Supportive

I provide clients with empathy, validation, and encouragement to explore and express their feelings in a safe and nonjudgmental environment. Through active listening and affirming their experiences, I help clients develop coping strategies, enhance self-awareness, and build emotional resilienc

Strength-Based

I assist clients in identifying and leveraging their inherent strengths, skills, and resources to address their challenges and achieve their goals. This approach focuses on empowering clients to build on their positive attributes, fostering resilience, self-efficacy, and a sense of agency in their lives.
