Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During the first session, I introduce myself, discuss informed consent, confidentiality, and HIPAA regulations. I would also like to complete a biopsychosocial assessment with them and discuss the reasons for psychotherapy treatment.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Having worked with trauma victims for 15 years and substance users for over five years, I assure them that we can develop a treatment plan and work towards treatment goals that would contribute to holistic well-being.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My education and work experience have positioned me to treat trauma victims, substance users, and clients in family crises. My clients benefit from my humanistic modality and my value of them as an integral component in their treatment.

Trauma Informed Care
I have used trauma-informed Care, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral therapy, and Mindfulness Practice in my practice for the last 15 years. I continue to update my practice skills with the latest research in these theoretical orientations by taking ongoing training and reading up-to-date psychotherapy magazines and journals.
