Christian Counseling
I consider myself a Christian Therapist which means I incorporate Biblical principles, Christian Values, wisdom and teaching along with the Clinical aspect to assist those that desire it in their healing process.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
I provide culturally competent therapy with respect to all cultures. I provide Client Centered therapy and incorporate client's cultural values, identity, and norms into therapy providing understanding of their roles and identity in their culture and family. I also assist those who have experienced oppression and racial trauma with healing and transitioning to place of empowerment, pride, and growth and appreciation for their culture and others.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I assist clients with acknowledging their relationship with their thoughts, feelings, and actions. Helping them understand their feelings and the root of them. I work with clients on reframing their values and adjusting their behaviors to improve their outcome and situation.
Strength-Based
I utilize this approach to assist clients who are experiencing crisis to come to solution for their problems using their own inherent strengths and skills. I believe that each person has the power within them to make positive changes in their lives sometimes they require assistance with helping them identify their strengths and power within.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
In crisis situations people need assistance with immediate intervention and solutions to their problems to help them return to healthier state of functioning. I provide immediate crisis intervention to assist clients with helping them develop solutions to their problems, identifying their support systems and other interventions needed to assist them with achieving overall well-being for longevity.
