I am very pleased to meet you. Before coming here and seeing my profile, you may have struggled alone for a long time, unable to easily share your personal issues with anyone, or perhaps you did share, but felt misunderstood or not fully supported. In a safe and trustworthy environment, I am ready to listen to your concerns or issues with empathy, without any bias or judgment. With my expertise, I am confident in working together with you to resolve your worries or challenges. I will listen to your unique history and problems with curiosity and respect, and I will do my utmost as a counselor in collaboration with you.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
You will be encouraged to accept yourself and your symptoms through non-judgmental lens. It is nothing to be ashamed of if you are dealing with a mental health condition, issue, or any other significant concern. As we go through life, these challenges can arise for anyone, and it is entirely natural. Always take pride in yourself and value who you are. I wish you a happy and healthy day today.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have broad resources and therapy methods to utilize. My warm regard and positively embracing attitude will help us go and collaborate together.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have learned this treatment and have used it when I acknowledge client's symptoms are stemming from their cognitive distortion or negative assumptions..

Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
I have used this method for the population suffering from Anxiety, Panic attack, and PTSD.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
I can utilize this for the clients suffering from PTSD and anxiety disorder.
Grief Therapy
My doctoral dissertation theme was about death and grief. Thus, I'm able to help people in process of grieving.
