Hi there, I am JC. Is there something bothering you that you want to change? I utilize a variety of approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, humanistic, solution focused, and existential. In all cases, I try to adjust my style to meet the needs and preferences of each individual client. I also teach mindfulness, to enhance self-awareness and the ability to manage stress. I am pragmatic and a compassionate therapist. I approach therapy as a collaborative encounter, helping clients recognize and cultivate their inner strengths. My primary goal is to help clients achieve creative, meaningful, and holistic responses to the complicated challenges of their lives. Whether you're dealing with being overwhelmed, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and cognitive habits holding you back. Let's work together!
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you are facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Through cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness training, I can educate you on how to live in and practice presence. It’s impossible to reach your full potential if you’re constantly somewhere else, unable to fully embrace the reality (good or bad) of the very moment.
As a therapist, I have extensive experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients address a variety of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, and negative thinking patterns. CBT is a structured, goal-oriented approach that focuses on the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By identifying and challenging unhelpful thought patterns, clients can learn new ways of thinking and behaving that lead to more positive outcomes. In my practice, I use CBT to help clients: Identify and reframe negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress Develop practical skills to manage stress and anxiety in everyday life Build healthier coping mechanisms for handling difficult emotions or situations Set achievable goals and break them down into manageable steps Enhance self-awareness and self-compassion through mindfulness and reflection I believe in a collaborative, client-centered approach, where we work together to create personalized strategies that fit each individual's needs and circumstances. My goal is to provide you with the tools and insights to feel more empowered and in control of your mental health, both in and outside of our sessions.
