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.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked in the helping profession for over 15 years, I’ve developed the ability to build rapport and show empathy towards my clients.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with adults of all ages who are struggling with the daily stressor of life. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is psychosocial intervention that focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts, beliefs , attitudes and behaviors. It improves emotional regulation and create a suite of coping strategies to solve problematic issues. I have incorporated CBT in grief counseling, couples therapy, anxiety and depression. I assist my patients with changing there unhealthy thought process though journaling, reframing negative thoughts, mindfulness, etc.
Group Therapy
I help patients cope with loss, like the death of a partner, family member, friend, colleague, or pet. I explore memories of the loved one. I work on building a routine back with my patients and reidentifying themselves.
