I have been working in the mental health field for 6 years. I have a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology. I chose a career in mental health to assist others in maintaining a mentally healthy lifestyle. I have worked with children and adults who have symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, behavior disorders, depression, parenting problems, social issues, and more. I also work with military service members and their families when experiencing challenging times. My counseling style is warm and engaging. My treatment approach is that of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). However, every client is different; therefore, each treatment plan is tailored to accommodate the individual client's needs. I believe that it is important for individuals to understand the root of their issues and understand methods to recognize triggers, provide coping strategies, and allow them to see how their perspectives shape their view of the world. When changing their view, they positively change their behaviors.
Whether you seek change for a healthier, happier life or need a non-judgmental party, I am here to support and empower you.

I loved Octavia's approach to therapy.

Octávia is aan empathetic, warm and caring counselor who expertly uses examples from her own life to put your own experience into perspective. She is wise and gives very useful practical tips to address every day challenges. Our sessions feel effortless but I always leave with concrete strategies and tactics that I can immediately implement in my life. She also always follows up with a short summary of the most important things we discussed, which is very helpful to keep accountability! Would highly recommend!

Octavia is a great resource and creates specific action plans based on your sessions which I think was invaluable, sometimes therapy feels like you're just talking and paying someone to listen BUT not with her - I felt like I was sitting with an expert that loves what she does and was sharing actual tools I can use to work toward my goals. Very grateful for her!
