I can also assist and support clients with ADHD, person who are easily overwhelmed with life events, individuals who are struggling with overthinking, indecisiveness and building responsible supportive relationships.
Treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I have been using person-centered treatment modality for as long as I have been practicing. Person Centered Therapy proves to be an individualized and an effective tool to support a baseline for planning short term and long term goals.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Change begins in the mind. I have used this treatment in conjunction with solution focused therapy to reduce any type of mood and thought deficits to assist with managing mood and emotional imbalances.
Christian Counseling
I have recently implemented this modality. I do believe most issues people are experiencing can be managed through the Christian principles.
Grief Therapy
Helps understand the process and how to manage grief in one's own mental capacity.
