Working as a Licensed Professional Counselor I am passionate about working toward creating awareness of mental health and helping young children and young adults succeed regardless of the barriers they may face. I enjoy my work as a counselor because it allows me to be creative and directly make changes. My approach to counseling includes using a team approach to achieve the client's goal, with a key component being communication and transparency.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session I review and answer any follow up questions from intake assessment. I provided my contact information and create a treatment plan that clients feel comfortable with.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Specialized Training Includes: Circle of Security: Early Intervention Programs for Parents & Children Mental Health First Aid: national program to teach the skills to respond to the signs of mental illness and substance use The Attachment, Regulation and Competency (ARC) Framework TF-CBT: Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a clinician I believe my strengths include being flexible and creative when engaging young clients. As a clinician I also enjoy including art interventions to support clients in identifying and verbalizing feelings at an early age.
