LPC, 5 years of experience
I have over 5 years of experience working in the mental and behavioral health field. I have a Master of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have gained a range of experience working with clients dealing with various issues. I enjoy helping others navigate through daily life stressors by providing them with the tools needed to work everyday towards self-efficacy.
The first session is all about building rapport. I seek to understand clients and how they are impacted by daily issues. I am down to earth and seek to make clients feel as comfortable as possible as they embark on their healing journey.
My greatest strength is my ability to connect with any individual I come across. It's refreshing to work with someone who you feel you can connect with and that can understand you.
I specialize in working with clients with anger, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues. It is great when clients come in ready to make changes, however, I do understand how challenging it may be to begin therapy for the first time. I am willing to work with clients with various levels of readiness.
CBT is generally used to gather information and begin the rapport building process and assist with learning various skills for coping to begin navigating through issues.
