Since 2007, my mission has been to help and empower my clients to overcome their most challenging obstacles and start living happier and healthier lifestyles. My extensive experience in working with children and families of diverse ethnic backgrounds and disabilities means that I'm fully equipped to guide, support and assist you in building the life you clearly deserve. I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and a masters in social work from Florida International University. I am also a licensed clinical social worker in Florida and Virginia. I focus on assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental illness focusing on decreasing emotional and behavioral disturbances. In addition, I aim to help create life balance and help you understand how to prioritize YOU and highlighting all aspects of your authentic self. My goal is to help individuals overcome stress and life challenges. Together we will explore solutions and easier ways of managing stress that may be contributed by past negative events linked to current negative thoughts and emotions. If you feel as though you are stuck and not evolving due to increased stress, frustration, anger, fear, sadness, disgust, rage, or annoyance, for example, you may be holding on to certain negative emotions that are hindering you from evolving, healing, and growing. My purpose is to support you where you are at and help you remove energy blocks and negative thoughts to promote the healing process. My approach involves Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) exposure therapy to thoughts, feelings, and emotions by using positive affirmations and tapping interventions. Whatever stage in life you are in right now, you can expect me to walk with you through these challenges by inspiring and motivating you every step of the way. You can expect to improve your quality of life, find your purpose, and learn more about yourself by changing your story or narrative in order to fulfill your dreams of success.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
You are the creator of your life and you create your own reality. My sessions will help you focus on what is working well in your life & how your life will change by reframing your thoughts. Shifting your perspectives while focusing on your strengths, resources, and desires is essential to exploring possible solutions. Your thoughts patterns affect your emotions, which can consequently affect your behaviors. Sessions with me will include helping you reframing your thoughts in a more positive way so that it can lead to more positive feelings and healthier quality of life. The goal is to help you identify specific problems or issues in your daily life, becoming aware of unproductive thought patterns and how they can impact your life, and learning new behaviors and putting them into practice.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use a holistic approach combining mental, physical, and spiritual wellness to help individuals heal and thrive on a deeper level. My goal is to help you focus on what is working well in your life and how your strengths, resources, and thoughts will give you resolve any stressors. Once these particular negative emotions are explored, clients have the option of exploring emotional freedom techniques or "tapping" in sessions. EFT involves gently tapping on acupressure points and holding the thoughts, feelings, and body sensations associated with the problem in mind while tapping on calming points in the upper body. To help clear emotional issues EFT is used to produce physical and emotional well-being so that it does not manifest into illness and disease.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My niche is working with children and individuals who feel stuck, lost, stressed, and overwhelmed with stressors in their life. I enjoy clients who reach out to me and say they want to find their "purpose" and are ready to make some changes to evolve. I am also skilled at working with people who are afraid of getting out of their comfort zone and have a fear of starting something new because they are too afraid to explore new things.
