I am a licensed psychologist and licensed clinical social worker with over 11 years of experience working as a therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, stress management, life skill development, effective communication skills and conflict resolution, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, ADD/ADHD, and various additional areas. I have worked with clients throughout all life stages: from children in school settings, adolescents at colleges and universities, and adults in both the inpatient medical setting and in private practice, as well as correctional facilities. I also help individuals who have experienced traumatic life events.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
My counseling style is warm and interactive and rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy. I employ a humanistic, holistic, person-centered, strengths-based, culturally competent approach. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and prioritize fostering a healthy therapeutic relationship. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I believe in recognizing and encouraging each client's potential for personal growth and change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strengths are my cultural competency, empathy, solution-focused approach and ability to create a treatment plan and corresponding goals that center the client and their needs. Our professional partnership is based on the reality that both you and I both have expertise (whether personal or professional) when working together to yield the best results for your mental health and well-being.
