LMHC, 8 years of experience
My focus is to support individuals and couples in healing as they become aware of their inner strengths. I have worked with individuals, couples, and families who have experienced trauma and suffer from addiction, anxiety, grief, or depression. I utilize cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT), which include identifying and confronting negative thoughts, using guided imagery, visualization, and other coping and relaxation strategies. These techniques have proven incredibly effective in managing a multitude of issues. This is achieved by providing a safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan. The plan will utilize cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing through a client-centered approach with the client’s needs and desired outcomes in mind. These methods are effective for people struggling with depression, stress, anxiety, anger, PTSD, self-image, and anyone seeking skills empowering you to live your best life.
Our first session will consist of background questions and building a therapeutic relationship. My primary focus is a holistic, cognitive-behavioral, person-centered approach to arm the client with tools to manifest positive changes toward the life you desire. Tools utilized include mindfulness, coping, relaxation, and other cognitive behavioral strategies.
I am told I am caring and compassionate, providing support without judgment. I honor diversity and have a multicultural approach to counseling in support of worth, dignity, and uniqueness.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy is identifying thoughts, feelings, and actions and learning strategies to view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them more effectively.
I am here to support you in processing your feelings and learning new coping strategies in a safe environment.
