I utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and person-centered therapy. I value my clients' cultural world and strive to create space for culture in the therapeutic process. My educational background is in psychology/neuroscience (BA), clinical mental health counseling (MA), and I am currently working on my doctorate degree in counselor education and supervision where I am focused on education, leadership, supervision, and research within the field of counseling.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
You can expect to walk away having all information you need about my practice so you can make the best decision for you. It's important that we begin to establish rapport, trust, and that you walk away feeling like you made a good choice. You can expect me to gather information about different areas of your life (mental, emotional, social, recreational, professional, family history, etc.) I really want to learn about you so I can have an understanding of who you are and how I can help you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Ability to connect, empathy, strong clinical skills, and committed to learning to better serve my clients.
