My passion lies in supporting individuals on their emotional health journey and creating a safe space for healing and self-discovery. I believe in a holistic approach to therapy, addressing all aspects of a person's being - the good, the bad, the ups, the downs. By focusing on the mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of an individual, I aim to help clients embrace all parts of themselves as they heal and grow. My goal is to empower individuals to confidently present their true selves to the world and live their desired lives.

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

In our first session, we will dedicate time to getting acquainted with each other. We will explore the specific concerns and challenges that you are currently grappling with. By taking a holistic approach, we will assess how your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being may be influencing your overall functioning. Collaboratively, we will develop a plan to address and overcome these concerns and challenges.

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

With over a decade of experience working with clients to address their emotional needs, I have demonstrated a strong ability to assist individuals in achieving emotional healing through promoting overall well-being, and empowering them to construct the lives they aspire to live. In collaboration, we will develop a personalized plan that focuses on supporting your journey towards personal growth, with a key emphasis on mental, physical, and spiritual health, complete with measurable goals and actionable objectives.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I specialize in supporting clients who are seeking a comprehensive healing journey that integrates mental, physical, and spiritual wellness to address their emotional needs. If you are feeling stagnant or uncertain about how to begin healing from past issues and fulfilling your emotional needs, I am available to assist you through this transformative process. The individuals I collaborate with are committed and eager to embark on a path of healing, personal development, and self-exploration.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I employ Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) techniques to assist clients in identifying and correcting distorted thinking patterns that may be causing difficulties in their lives. Through this approach, I help individuals rationalize and make sense of their reality, improve their understanding of behaviors, develop effective coping mechanisms, confront and conquer fears, and cultivate a stronger sense of self-confidence and belief in their own capabilities.

Trauma-Focused CBT

I utilize Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) methods to support clients in reevaluating their self-perception, relationships with others, and outlook on the world following traumatic experiences. Together, we navigate through and recover from traumatic events by employing exposure techniques to address post-traumatic stress symptoms and behaviors. The objective is to equip clients with coping mechanisms to effectively navigate trauma-related distress and emotions, confront and resolve trauma, and progress towards a healthier, safer future.
