I am extremely passionate about helping children, teens, and young adults navigate the complexities of life. With over 20 years of experience in the field of counseling, my focus lies in trauma-related issues, anxiety, depression, ADHD, as well as an array of mental health disorders. I am dedicated to providing a safe, caring and supportive environment which in turn allows my clients to feel safe exploring, expressing and adjusting to changes and life’s challenges.
Your first session is an important step toward your mental well-being. We will discuss and complete the necessary paperwork and begin to get to know each other. I would like to learn more about your background, current concerns and what you hope to achieve in therapy in a safe, caring and nonjudgemental space where you feel comfortable. We will start to build rapport, which is essential to the therapeutic alliance. Lastly, we will discuss the frequency and duration of your sessions.
I am a dedicated and experienced licensed professional counselor with a profound mission to assist my clients in overcoming obstacles related to behavioral, emotional issues, academic, and diagnosed disabilities. I am lifelong learner constantly attending workshops and conferences to enhance my craft.
My expertise lies in understanding the challenges faced by individuals & tailoring therapeutic approaches to suit their specific needs. The basis of my therapeutic approach is based on empathy, trust & creating a therapeutic alliance with my clients. I believe in fostering a collaborative relationship based on mutual respect where my clients feel validated. I utilize CBT or DBT & infuse the creative arts & play therapy into my craft while altering the client’s treatment to meet their needs.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
As a clinician, I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) because it offers an evidence based, comprehensive, and effective approach to treating a wide range of mental health conditions. DBT can be tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual client, a personalized treatment approach that maximizes outcomes. DBT provides a structured framework for teaching essential skills, mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that empower clients manage their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. By utilizing DBT, I can assist clients in developing the tools and skills they need to lead fulfilling lives, even in the face of challenges.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy, CBT because it is a collaborative process between the therapist and the client. Together, we work to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop coping strategies, and practice new behaviors. This collaborative approach fosters a sense of empowerment and ownership in the therapeutic process. CBT is a skill-based therapy that equips clients with practical tools and techniques to manage their symptoms and improve their overall well-being.

she’s the best! roberta is very attentive, and actively listens to what i have to say . she not only listens, but offers lots of feedback on how to break negative cycles of thinking. she is very empathetic, and is a very intelligent woman all around. i never had much luck with my therapists, but she is definitely a great choice, especially if you suffer from anxiety and relationship problems.
