What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session will consist of you telling me briefly about yourself, why are you seeking therapy, and what do you think you want to achieve out of therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength is recognizing the characteristics of each individual and how does that characteristic support the individual in becoming a better version of themselves.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
This method is essential to helping the client understand cognitively how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors play vital roles in their decision-making and ultimately their lives.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
This method is critical for those who are challenged in areas in their lives that rest upon their cultural experiences. Understanding how culture has shaped beliefs and norms can be the foundation for treatment goals.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
This treatment method allows one to focus on the uniqueness of each individual, their strengths and challenges. It also allows fluidity in developing treatment objectives and interventions. The person-centered approach supports individualism, respect and congruence towards the client.
