Struggling to manage your emotions, stress and relationships? It’s time to counter those negative thoughts. We can work together in an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I am a California Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor since 2014 and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor since 2009. My focus is to attentively be there for you during your challenging and unpleasant situations.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will begin with discussing the issue that you initially expressed or whatever is on your mind while informally completing the intake process. Then we will touch on topics that we can work on in follow-up sessions. We create goals when you are ready. My goala is to listen and support you whiow you work towards understanding and managing your feelings.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
We work together to meet your goals. I listen, validate and encourage you to make the choices that literally work for you. You can make it through a situation alone however, with professional counseling you will learn how to express yourself in a healthy purposeful way. Casually exploring your thoughts and feelings may help you work to achieve satisfaction. I’m here to support you through your journey!
