LPC, 8 years of experience
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Arizona with a Masters Degree in Counseling. I believe in meeting my clients where they are and assisting them with self-awareness, healing and productive change from a place of empathy and non-judgment. I am passionate about empowering individuals to overcome obstacles and instilling hope for their future. As your counselor, I will walk beside you and listen to your experiences, providing a safe environment for you to process life events, emotions, and gain greater insight into your personal experiences. I use a person-centered approach that uses mindfulness, goal setting, and educational empowerment to aid you on your journey.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
My ability to listen actively and provide a safe, non-judgmental space for clients fosters trust and openness, which are crucial for effective therapy.
I welcome clients from all walks of life who are actively engaged in the therapeutic process and committed to making positive changes in their lives. My practice is inclusive and supportive, fostering an environment where you will feel valued and understood as you work towards your personal goals.
In my practice, I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help clients quickly identify and build on their existing strengths and resources. I guide clients to envision their preferred future and set specific, achievable goals. This method fosters a collaborative and positive therapeutic environment, allowing clients to make meaningful progress and achieve lasting change in a brief period.
In my practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors. By working collaboratively, we uncover underlying issues and develop practical strategies for change. I believe in empowering clients with tools to manage their emotions and achieve lasting personal growth. Together, we can create a path to a more balanced and fulfilling life.
