Hello, I am so excited that you have decided to take time out and review my page. Thank you! Growing up in a culture where therapy is considered weak and embarrassing, I find myself running into many people that are scared, confused, and skeptical of the process. Some of the questions that arise are: am I crazy, does this really work, am I betraying my culture and will I ever get better? In addition to this, I too found myself navigating through the webs of this process hoping to find a solution to all of my problems. And despite what was preconceived, I found LIFE. Life to live, freedom to be who I am, and skills to navigate through the daily twists, turns, and traumas of life. This too I would like to offer to you. Utilizing an Eclectic approach in Psychotherapy, I am able to meet the individual where they are at, and develop treatment modalities that best fits their needs. Some examples include CBT, Interpersonal Skills, Emotion Regulation, Phase 1 trauma treatment, Family Conflict, Relationship Issues, the development of effective Coping Skills, etc. I will be there for you every step of your journey. My goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to living beyond your own expectations.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
When working with me, clients can expect to get a structured session with identifiable goals for the day, week, and month. Monthly re-evaluation of process is essential to obtaining your goals. Knowing this, I know sometimes sessions can become intense. I am a provider who loves to laugh with you when needed, while being able to supply you the skills for progression. You are the expert of yourself. And I am here to pull that out of you. I meet you were you are at so that you can get the most out of each experience. Therapy is my passion. And I love working with all individuals and believe that the lost can be found, the broken can be mended, and the weak at heart can be restored. My motto is Life, Freedom, Living Beyond Own Expectations.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
In working with clients I believe it is very important to meet the client where they are at. In utilizing an Eclectic approach to help clients obtain their goals, I work with such modalities as CBT, Mindfulness, DBT skills, learning how to regulate your emotions, and psycho-education around what one is experiencing. If you don't understand what is happening how can you progress? So in working with each individual, I help the client to see all perspectives/symptoms and then provide the coping skills needed to navigate through them.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having 15+ years working as a Licensed Clinical Social Work, I am well diverse in many areas of treatment. I have a great knowledge base working with children and young adults; helping them find their way through life. I also specialize in working with individuals with Mood Disorders, Trauma, Relationship Issues, and challenges with understanding their emotions/emotion regulation skills. Through my usage of CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Self-Exploration, and the ability to work on identifying core beliefs, clients are able to pull out the best of themselves by understanding where their struggles come from and developing skills to manage them.
