What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
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.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My counseling style is eclectic and person centered . I believe in treating anyone with respect , empathy, unconditional positive regard, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels or focusing on the diagnosis. My approach is integrative to meet the needs of you the client. Sessions and treatment plan are designed to meet your unique and specific needs.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past 9 years. It’s helped dozens of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
Positive Psychology
I've been using positive psychology for the last three years . We all have pain points or low points in our lives at some point. Some of the things we may experience we have no control over. However, when become hyper-focused on the negative situation this can produce distressing emotions which often feel unmanageable. We will practice positive psychology so you are able to flourish even during setbacks or adversities. We will use the five building blocks that enable flourishing – Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment.
