Have you felt inadequate or not good enough? Are there things from your past that still haunt you? Do you feel disconnected and discouraged? Let's take a journey toward creating a sense of self-awareness and self-worth together. Thus, finding meaning and purposefulness in life ultimately makes a positive change that can result in your healing. As a licensed clinical psychotherapist specializing in Adlerian (Individual) psychology, I will provide the enlightenment and encouragement necessary to develop healthier ways of living out who you are, connecting with others, and building the self-confidence needed to stimulate courage. I have extensive experience working with people from all walks of life and helping them find themselves and develop the willpower needed to live life on their terms. It's crucial to meet you where you are and help you get to where you are destined to be. Adlerian theory refers to a psychological practice built on the belief that, as unique individuals, people should be validated, connected, and made to feel significant. Adlerian therapy focuses on the entire individual, not just the parts that need improvement. It regards the personality as strongly influenced by the role one played within their family of origin, which is partly reflected by birth order. (Smykowski, 2022)

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

A client can expect to take a self-discovery journey. This process will include four stages: engagement, assessment, insight, and reorientation/reeducation. I will help you understand the root of your behaviors, how you can change your view of yourself, and how you can work through and change the view of your childhood. This process can get you on a path that leads to meaningful living.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

Considering the uniqueness of individuals, I provide integrative, evidence-based techniques and customized treatment plans that increase the likelihood of positive mental health outcomes. These psychological interventions and tools include Adlerian theory and techniques (Life-Style Assessment), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Positive Psychology, Mindfulness-Based (MBCT), Person-Centered, Reality Therapy, Trauma-Focused, Attachment-Based and Humanistic, etc.

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

I provide individual, family, and couples/marital psychotherapy.
