In addition to having a doctorate in Counseling Community and Care with a concentration in traumatology. I have more than fifteen years of experience assisting families and individuals who have endured a wide range of traumatic experiences, including child neglect, divorce, and more. In an effort to foster resilience, I will implement a holistic, person-centered approach in my practice., geared towards self exploration and healing .
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
With over a decade of experience, I have implemented CBT. We discuss the cognitive triangle in my practice, which believes that thoughts influence emotions, which in turn influence actions. We emphasize in my practice the significance of having positive beliefs, as they are the foundation for experiencing happiness.
Experiential Therapy
When necessary, experiential therapy will be implemented. To assist the client in processing negative thoughts, an experiential therapy session might involve assigning my client to perform a role play or encouraging them to create music or art.

Families may benefit from family therapy as a means to address intergenerational trauma and/or family conflict.
