I received my undergraduate work in Leadership . This is where I learned that leadership isn’t just a title, or position. That leadership encompasses character, and through leadership the importance of relating , and inspiring others. I do this through effective listening to those I work with to help determine what motivates each person. So they will be inspired to consider improving their own lives.
This has also benefited me tremendously in counseling to focus on seeing each person as unique individuals by valuing their perceptive as well as life experiences.
My education in social science with emphasis in career vocational counseling, and general counseling; also prepared me to support individuals who may be experiencing difficulties in the workplace or adjusting from career changes, or concerns.
I currently have over a year in a half of experience as a doctoral student with emphasis in psychology. My passion is to better understand the science of the mind and behavior. My goal is to return to grad school in 2021, to work towards my PhD.
I have over 8 years of clinical experience, my training includes cognitive behavior therapy. As well as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is adaptive Information Processing model. It can be used to support individuals by accessing and processing of traumatic memories and other adverse life experience by bringing these to an adaptive resolution. Successfully treatment with EMDR therapy, affective distress is relieved, negative beliefs are reformulated, and physiological arousal is reduced (EMDR,2020).
