As a dedicated therapist, I specialize in working with individuals and couples facing a variety of emotional and relational challenges. My clients include those dealing with anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and personal growth struggles. By employing evidence-based techniques such as EMDR, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and couples therapy, I aim to help clients gain insight, develop coping strategies, and improve their overall well-being. The impact of my work is evident in the positive transformations my clients experience, such as reduced anxiety, healed past traumas, strengthened relationships, and enhanced self-awareness and resilience.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In your first session with me, you can expect a welcoming and non-judgmental environment where you can share your concerns and goals openly. We will begin by discussing what brought you to therapy, your background, and any specific issues you want to address. I will explain my therapeutic approach and how we can work together to achieve your objectives. This initial session is also an opportunity for us to start building a trusting relationship, and I will ensure you feel heard and understood. You can expect to leave with a sense of hope and a clearer understanding of the path we will take to help you achieve your desired outcomes.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

What makes me unique as a therapist is my diverse and extensive experience across various fields of mental health. I have dedicated seven years to working with children in the system, gaining deep insights into their unique challenges and resilience. Additionally, my role as a marriage counselor at UCF has equipped me with the skills to help couples navigate complex relationship dynamics and strengthen their bonds. Furthermore, I have had the privilege of working with parents of children with special needs, providing them with the support and strategies necessary to manage their unique family dynamics. This breadth of experience allows me to offer a compassionate, well-rounded approach tailored to each client's specific needs and circumstances.

My treatment methods

EMDR

As a therapist, witnessing a client experience positive outcomes with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is both rewarding and validating.When a client begins EMDR, they often feel apprehensive. The therapist builds rapport and trust, explains the process, and addresses concerns. For clients with severe trauma, such as physical abuse by a parent, creating a safe and supportive environment is crucial. Initial sessions focus on preparing the client with coping strategies and establishing a strong therapeutic alliance.During EMDR, the therapist guides the client through desensitization, which involves recalling traumatic memories while engaging in bilateral stimulation (e.g., eye movements, tapping). The therapist monitors the client's emotional and physiological responses, providing support and interventions as needed to keep the client comfortable and within their window of tolerance.

Couples Counseling

Working with couples to rebuild their bond involves fostering effective communication, empathy, and trust. The process begins with creating a safe, non-judgmental space where both partners feel heard and understood. Teaching effective communication skills, such as active listening and the use of "I" statements, helps partners express their feelings constructively. Additionally, enhancing emotional connection through empathy-building exercises and encouraging open expression of emotions can strengthen their bond. Finally, addressing conflicts with collaborative problem-solving and promoting regular check-ins ensures ongoing growth and resilience in the relationship.
