About me

Hi, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia. I have over 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where past and present issues can be explored and addressed at your own pace. I will help you explore and acknowledge your strengths so that you feel in control of your life.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The first session is all about getting to know you. You will learn some things about me, but the focus will be on you, your history, your strengths and challenges and the problems you are facing at this point. You may have to fill out short questionnaires that will help me get a better understanding of the approach we need to take in order to help you get were you want to go, this is called "the treatment plan" that you and I will get to create and modify as necessary throughout the therapy process.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have an extensive experience working with children and adolescents and with their parents. I like to incorporate play therapy-based activities into my practice so that children and even adults feel less threatened and able to let their inner self guide the process of healing. Being an immigrant myself, I have experience and knowledge of socio-cultural issues that affect development and wellbeing. I have experience with techniques that help you uncover negative beliefs or misconceptions that reduce your chances at living a fulfilling life.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

We all are a product of our past experiences. I help clients learn more about themselves and how their thoughts shape their relationship with themselves and their environment. My clients come from different backgrounds, but they all share one thing in common: they feel stuck. Regardless of your background, we can work together to align your personal thoughts and beliefs to match your goals. The work can be as fast or as slow as you feel ready to go, but you will be in charge all the way.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to assist clients with learning to identify their thinking patterns to better understand the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I use this theoretical approach in combination with Person Centered to help people explore from their own point of view and life experiences. I will help you to create a plan that will suit your personality style and your particular needs in order to reach a healthy and balanced lifestyle. I've been using CBT for over 10 years and I am ready to help you overcome feelings of depression and anxiety and other negative feelings caused by life's changes, difficult upbringings and traumatic experiences.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

I use Person-centered approach to help you regain or maintain control of your life. As a therapist, I will act as your passenger, accompanying you wherever you feel ready or not so ready to go. I will hold your space and together we will find alternatives to a better lifestyle that allows you to shine in all of your capabilities.
