In August 2010, I graduated from Liberty University with two Master’s degrees: one in Marriage and Family Therapy, and the other in Human Services with a Specialization in Family Therapy. I was a recipient of the Innovative Thinker Award issued by the Prince William County Molinari Juvenile Shelter. I have also previously worked as a Social Worker for Prince William County, where he evaluated the needs of families, provided them with resources, expedited adolescent recovery, and provided crisis intervention.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During the first session, clients can expect a welcoming and structured environment designed to promote trust, understanding, and openness. The session focuses on creating a safe space for my clients to express their perspectives, emotions, and goals for counseling without judgment or interruption. I emphasize the importance of teamwork and shared accountability in the therapeutic process. I encourage clients to describe the strengths as well as the challenges that brought them to therapy. The goal of the initial meeting is to begin building insight, clarity, and a foundation for collaborative growth.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
As a Professional Counselor, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Marriage and Family Therapy techniques. These services will include therapeutic evaluations, assessments and short-term, on-going counseling sessions for individuals and families with a wide range of emotional, cognitive, and behavioral concerns. The therapeutic approach will be intensive, short-term, strength based, focusing on problem solving, promoting self-sufficiency, and offering practical parenting coaching, support, and education.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I created Victory Life in 2018. As a therapist, I specialize in treating individuals who are experiencing, depression, anger, low self-esteem, emotional distress and life stressors for adolescents. The therapy techniques that I have found to be most effective include cognitive behavioral therapy focusing on restructuring thoughts and solution focused thoughts.
Family Therapy
I believe it is important to explore roles within the family unit and take into account a range of cultural influences psychological factors that have impacted family members. I also believe it is critical to assist family members identify how their thoughts, emotions , and behaviors are connected to become more mindful of how they interact with one another.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I believe it is important to assess the needs of each family members and examine issues that cause individuals distress and teach individuals how to problem solve as well as advocate for themselves. Collaboration during counseling sessions is critical in order to empower individuals to remain engage in treatment.
