LPC, 10 years of experience
Hello. I am a licensed professional counselor with a PhD in psychology. I have over 10 years of experience working with clients from various backgrounds dealing with a multitude of issues. I enjoy helping others, and I recognize the importance of making clients feel comfortable and safe during the therapeutic process. I value developing trust in the therapeutic relationship to promote growth. Having worked and lived abroad for several years and traveled to many countries, my personal, professional, and academic background gives me a well-rounded and enriched perspective on the world and its challenges. I believe this has enabled me to be a more relatable and effective therapist.
In the first session, clients can expect to be allowed to express concerns while building a therapeutic relationship and trust.
My greatest strengths include my ability to relate to others and be empathetic.
I am a generalist who uses an eclectic approach which enables me to work well with diverse populations.
I frequently utilize cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) to assist patients with issues such as regulating emotions and managing behavior.
I utilize interpersonal techniques to develop rapport and therapeutic relationship with patients.
I employ trauma informed care to assist patients in reducing trauma and managing triggers.
Grief therapy is used to assist my patients in managing grief and to help them develop a healthy understanding of grief and loss.
I effectively utilize couples counseling to assist couples with addressing relationship issue which includes developing communication and conflict resolution skills.
