Greetings ! I am a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Arizona. I received my Master of Arts in Counseling from Ottawa University and have been practicing for 10 years. I majored in the treatment of Trauma, Abuse, and Deprivation to facilitate adults challenged with post- traumatic stress, anxiety , and depression by teaching them coping skills and healthy alternative approaches to self-defeating behaviors to help improve their quality of life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first CBT session with me, clients can expect a welcoming and supportive counseling session as we identify their reasons for seeking therapy and the goals they hope to achieve. I will introduce the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, explaining how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. Together, we'll explore the specific issues they are facing and begin identifying any negative thought patterns or behaviors that may be contributing to these challenges. We'll also discuss the structure of CBT sessions and what to expect in future meetings.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Over the past 10 years as a professional counselor, I have honed several key strengths that have become integral to my practice. My empathy allows me to genuinely understand and connect with clients, creating a safe space where they feel heard and supported. Through active listening, I am able to attentively capture both verbal and non-verbal cues, ensuring that clients feel truly understood. My expertise in motivational interviewing enables me to engage clients in meaningful conversations that facilitate change by empowering them to discover their own motivations and solutions. Additionally, my commitment to positive self-regard ensures that I approach each client with unconditional respect and acceptance, fostering a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment. These strengths collectively enhance my ability to support clients on their journey toward healing and personal growth.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a licensed professional counselor, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By identifying and challenging negative thought patterns, I work with clients to develop healthier perspectives and coping strategies. This approach empowers clients to make positive changes, improve their emotional well-being, and achieve their personal goals. Through collaborative sessions, I guide clients in building resilience and enhancing their overall quality of life.
Trauma Informed Care
In my practice as a licensed professional counselor, I incorporate trauma-informed care to create a safe and supportive environment for my clients. Recognizing the widespread impact of trauma, I prioritize establishing trust and empowering clients by respecting their autonomy and choices. By understanding the effects of trauma on the mind and body, I tailor my therapeutic approach to be sensitive to each client’s unique experiences, ensuring that treatment is collaborative and empowering. This approach helps my clients build resilience, fosters healing, and promotes recovery by honoring their strengths and acknowledging their past experiences.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
In my practice as a licensed professional counselor, I incorporate person-centered therapy to create a therapeutic environment where my clients feel genuinely respected and accepted. This approach emphasizes the importance of the client-counselor relationship, allowing my clients to explore their thoughts and emotions at their own pace. By fostering an atmosphere of empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard, I empower my clients to access their own inner resources and strengths. This collaborative approach encourages my clients to lead the way in their healing journey, facilitating personal growth and self-discovery as they work towards achieving their unique goals.
