I enjoy working with adult individuals seeking to recapture opportunities to create emotional and relationship harmony. Working with individuals on their mental and functional health, phase of life, spiritual and relationship journey, I incorporate evidence-based and nontraditional strategies tailored to your needs and overall well-being. My practice focuses on assisting individuals in identifying their stored emotions and reshaping unhealthy internal language, perspectives, and behaviors. Utilizing various modalities and interventions, I work with clients as they uncover habitual negative thoughts, explore their origins, and construct new ways of thinking/feeling. Focusing on how individuals define their beliefs about themselves and their relationships, clients are encouraged to let go of unconstructive thinking patterns and restructure their mindset: ultimately reducing negative self-talk and anxiety, enriching communication in all facets of life. I achieve this by providing a non-judgmental safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing interventions to help you meet your goals. Currently accepting adult individual session appointments.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

First session our opportunity to get to know one another better. Generally, first session will be time spent identifying current levels of emotional distress, exploring personal background information regarding culture, family, relationships dynamics, and exposure to adverse or trauma related experiences. Clients can expect a conversation style interaction where questions exchanged between therapist and client. The main focus of the first session is for me to ease initial discomfort, increasing rapport, understand current stressors and establish future therapeutic goals.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Mindfulness based Cognitive Therapy How one defines their experiences i.e., internal language, influences emotional reactivity. Restructuring internal dialog, processing hidden assumptions and self-doubt through the reconstruction of internal "words" along with Holistic techniques stimulates a distinguished sense of self awareness. Applying skills that encourage awareness of how we think and how those thoughts create emotional experiences, clients learn how to identify previously engrained negative automatic thoughts and transform them to a congruent empowered based internal experience.
