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

Counseling requires your active involvement in the process of change. It often requires that you challenge self-defeating thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. You will be asked to work both in and out of the counseling sessions. There are no instant, painless, or passive cures, no “magic solutions.” Therapy requires effort and practice; there will be homework/practice assignments and other projects. Problematic behaviors and issues take time to develop and thus take time to address and resolve. Sometimes change can be easy but more often change takes time, effort, and persistence. It is not uncommon that some psychological and behavior patterns have been reinforced for 20 to 30 years and will not change with insight alone. These entrenched thinking and behavior patterns will usually require much focused time and effort. Guidance and professional assistance is designed to support and empower you in seeing new possibilities and find peace for living an emotional and mental healthy and balanced life. You can make better decisions if you have enough information and understanding with regards to how counseling works. Getting motivated with the help of a licensed professional will generate peace, balance and freedom in your life.

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

Having worked in the field of mental health and wellness for 20+ years, I have developed empathy which allows me the ability to understand your feeling, resulting in enhancing effectiveness in being able to provide you support and building rapport. I also practice active listening which provides an environment where I listen attentively and without judgment, thus opening the door for true understanding of your concerns and needs, fostering a therapeutic relationship built on trust and understanding.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used and evidence-based approach in psychotherapy that focuses on the interplay between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I use CBT in a structured manner to help you identify and change negative patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to emotional distress or maladaptive functioning. Overall, CBT is a collaborative and goal-oriented approach to therapy that empowers you to take an active role in changing your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions to improve your overall well-being.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) is a goal-oriented and brief therapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and amplifying your existing strengths and resources to facilitate positive change. Overall, Solution-Focused Therapy is a collaborative and strengths-based approach that empowers you to identify and implement practical solutions to your problems, focusing on what is already working well and building on their existing strengths and resources.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT) incorporates mindfulness techniques and practices into the therapeutic process to help you cultivate present-moment awareness, acceptance, and nonjudgmental observation of your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. Overall, Mindfulness-Based Therapy is a holistic and integrative approach that empowers you to develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience through the cultivation of mindfulness skills and practices.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered counseling approach designed to elicit and strengthen motivation for behavior change. It is particularly effective in addressing ambivalence about change and helping you resolve your ambivalence to move towards positive behavior change. Overall, Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, empathic, and empowering approach that helps you explore your ambivalence about change, resolve your concerns, and strengthen your motivation and commitment to making positive behavior changes.
