I am a counselor with more than 7 years of experience working with individuals that struggles with substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, trauma, anger issues, PTSD and self-esteem issues. Life tends to get difficult at times, however it is important to have a person that you can talk to about those issues without being judged or misunderstood. I am here to support you in a friendly and at times humoristic manner, and safe. Approaches that I use in session include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness base therapy. These approaches help the patient to understand their way of thinking, intrusive thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and allow them to being a changing thought patterns and creating a positive behavioral change. I graduated as a Master of Education/Mental Health Counseling and have and undergraduate degree in Social Worker. I have experiences working in a variety of counseling settings including outpatient services, inpatient, partial hospitalizations, and others.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, it will be a mutual introduction. From there, I would like to explore the needs that the individual has, reasons for seeking counseling to be able to develop a plan that will help the individual meet his/her needs in short and/or long term. I use a friendly approach to the individual feels comfortable with itself and this writer.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
