LMHC, 7 years of experience
Hi, I am a licensed and experienced therapist passionate about helping people improve their emotional well-being. I have worked with individuals from diverse cultures and backgrounds and believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches to best meet the unique needs of each individual, couple, or family I work with.
In our first session, my goal is to start building rapport using active listening in a safe environment.
Being a good listener and my unconditional positive regard are my greatest strengths that combined they lead my clients to succeed in their healing process.
I love working with adults 18 and older experiencing difficulties in their lives.
The approach uses cognitive behavioral principles and exposure techniques to address symptoms of post-traumatic stress following trauma exposure as well as symptoms of depression, behavior problems, and caregiver difficulties.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of psycho-therapeutic treatment that helps people learn how to identify and change the destructive or disturbing thought patterns that have a negative influence on their behavior and emotions.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a mental health treatment technique. This method involves moving your eyes a specific way while you process traumatic memories. EMDR's goal is to help you heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences.
Family therapy is a type of psychotherapy that helps family members better understand each other, support one another, and work through difficult situations.
Couples counseling focuses on improving relationship satisfaction and conflict resolution between couples. Whether through in-person or online couples therapy, the ultimate goal for a counselor is to help build a healthy relationship and solve any possible issues.
