I assist with both civilians, veterans, and military being I am all of the following. This allows me to help more people because I have firsthand knowledge and experience. I help people to promote positive social changes in their life......one day at a time. I will have empowered the one that need empowering. Help work on the anger issues for those that need that assist.

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

In the first session I will listen to the client so they can vent and relax. Then I will access the client though a question-and-answer period. This counselor will asked what the client expect out of their session. Then see what did not work before in prior sessions if applicable. Then we will work on a couple cope skills. The client will leave with some tools to use until the next session.

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

I understand to meet people where they are. Also to not be judgmental. I have a passion for helping others and it makes me feel better to be able to do so.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I would with clients to see what they need and help them to look at these in different ways. We do the "Catch it, Check it, Change it point of view. We will work on CBT techniques to help as follow: Exposing yourself to situations that cause anxiety, like going into a crowded public space. Journaling about your thoughts throughout the day and recording your feelings about your thoughts.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

This a method used mostly with military and veterans. We work on SMART goals including: improving emotion regulation skills by practicing mindfulness for 10 minutes daily, reducing impulsive behavior by using healthy coping strategies and enhancing interpersonal effectiveness by attending a weekly support group when available.

Eclectic

This counselor does not feel one method is right for everyone. Therefore, clients are accessed and seen where they can best be supported.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

This is where this counselor allows the clients to be a part of their treatment by allowing them to add what they want to work on. The humanistic belief that the client inherently driven toward and has the capacity from growth and self-actualization.

Trauma-Focused CBT

This is where the client is helped to rethink situations and learn how to cope with things better.
