I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. In addition, I hold a BA in Psychology. I view counseling as a journey of facilitated self-exploration to increase the level of self-awareness and understanding that helps the individual better navigate the challenges they are facing. I work from a client centered perspective, adapting to each individual's needs. I believe every person is different, and therefore, my modalities should adapt to the needs of the individual. I act as a facilitator for the individual to discover their own strengths, modes of coping, spiritual belief systems, and creativity. Ultimately, it is my job to help individuals identify, develop, and mobilize their resources to successfully find ways to meet their own needs.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I will gather information about your life, and the challenges you have been facing. This will help me create a plan for us to work through together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I'm a therapist who has done (and continue to do) my own therapy to overcome past challenges. I view my past challenges as a strength that helps me understand and empathize with my clients. I also strive to create a safe and compassionate environment for my clients. I believe that if we gain insight into our behaviors and change the way that we talk to ourselves, we can change our lives. I believe everyone has unique strengths that when realized, can create healing and lasting change.
