LPCC, 10 years of experience
Hello, I am a licensed professional clinical counselor in the state of California, I live in the Palm Springs area of Southern Cal. My goal in life is to assist others with their mental health challenges and provide them with tools and education that will help them successfully manage these challenges. I look forward to seeing you in one of my sessions.
In our first session I like to use the time to hear you out, find out why you are seeking therapy. We discuss things like how life was before, what changed and what results you truly want out of therapy. Call it a getting to know you session. We will review your habits, routines and discuss desired outcomes from therapy.
My greatest strength in therapy is my listening skills. Understanding who you are and your current needs. I am transparent, honest and compassionate. I want to meet you where you are.
I enjoy working with people that are seeking change and willing to work hard to gain it. If this is you, then I just might be your therapist. I love to watch my clients learn about themselves, gain understanding and find those tools that help them become the best version of themselves.
I have been certified and find this treatment method assist in learning new ways to accept and manage mental health challenges.
I make every effort to learn from my clients their cultural backgrounds in order to provide the most genuine culturally sensitive treatment using the clients' beliefs, values and traditions.
I am able to use the Christian beliefs to assist in therapy when desired from the client.
