My therapeutic method combines cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) with a person-centered and solution-focused approach. Combining CBT, person-centered and solution focused therapy can create a comprehensive approach that addresses both the cognitive and emotional aspects of psychological distress while empowering clients to take an active role in their own healing process. I believe in adjusting my approach based on your individual needs. My Graduate Degrees: -Master of Science in Education in School Counseling (MSEd.) and Certificate of Advanced Study in Mental Health Counseling from Alfred University. -Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Special Education from Hunter College. -Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership from the College of St. Rose.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is about establishing a connection, gathering information, and setting the stage for our work together. It's a collaborative process where your input and comfort are paramount.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my greatest strengths as a mental health therapist is my ability to empathize deeply with my clients. Empathy allows me to genuinely understand and connect with the thoughts, emotions, and experiences of those I work with. This helps me build a strong therapeutic alliance, which is crucial for effective therapy outcomes. Additionally, I am skilled in active listening and creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. I believe in validating and affirming my clients' experiences, which fosters trust and openness in our therapeutic relationship. Overall, my greatest strength as a mental health therapist is my ability to empathize deeply, actively listen, and provide a safe space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions freely while receiving effective support and guidance.
