I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who likes maintaining a positive attitude towards others. I strive to understand the roots of mental and emotional issues while working with adolescents and adults. I integrate psychotherapy and education to assist clients in improving their mood, reducing stress, and creating hope. My focus is on helping those who struggle with anxiety, anger, self-harm behaviors, impulse control, depression, grief, relationship issues, and trauma. I have worked with diverse clients with different backgrounds, cultures, languages, values, beliefs, and customs. I combine different therapeutic tools and approaches to fit clients’ needs helping them be aware of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors through CBT techniques, utilizing mindfulness exercises to be focused in the moment, Motivational interviewing to move through stages of change, and more.
Mental health and emotional problems involve the relationship of brain, body, and mood which affect behavior, performance, prosperity, physical health, and relationships. Utilizing different approaches with warmth, genuineness, and unconditional support help clients better control their mind, heart, and body. My goal is to assist clients in reaching their goals and creating a new and better version of themselves.
“Let’s work together as a team. I want you to feel comfortable telling me your story, understanding how it has impacted your life in different areas, and how you can improve your life by having the desire and courage to make changes. Contact me if you are interested in receiving counseling services.”
I look forward to hearing more about you soon.
