I am a licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience. I use my personal experiences and professional training to offer solution based counseling to resolve root issues. I have had the fortunate opportunity to travel while in the military and then afterwards as a civilian. These travels have allowed me to experience many different cultures, observe human behaviors, and truly become culturally competent. I have a unique skill of conceptualizing clients, to understand where they have been and then collaboratively work together to identify solutions.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
We build rapport and start establishing trust. We define how our sessions operate and allow you to comfortably take the reins of the session.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I listen to listen not listen to respond. I challenge my clients in a supportive yet direct manner. I am skilled at helping you get clarity and then finding potential solutions for those identified issues.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I have seen through experience that DBT in combination with other therapeutic modalities has been the most effective treatment intervention. We often undervalue the most simple tools that can help change and awareness. DBT has many components, but mindfulness is a common technique I have used in session to provide solution based options for change, healing, and to gain insight.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Once you understand how you process information and then perceive life based on your core beliefs you can then start tackling your stressors. CBT is the base framework from which we all operate from. I like to educate my clients on how your thought framework can get viruses implanted which impact many areas of your life. Let's identify the virus and then eliminate it.
Motivational Interviewing
I tell all my clients, I do not know what is best for your life, you do! You're in the drivers seat, I'm your GPS. I make suggestions and provide options for you to choose from. I work to empower you to make difficult decisions or necessary decisions.
