When working with people who desire to make changes it is important that the therapist provides a safe, trusting, and supportive environment. I will ensure that I provide confidentiality, a nonjudgmental approach, empathy, and a positive regard. As a therapist I take on a collaborative approach where we work together for solutions. I will act as a guide and provide you with skills to learn how to better cope and face life's challenges.
It is my hope that clients will gain better insight, reduce stress, improve resiliency, learn how to manage & alleviate symptoms, & live life more consciously to have better wellness. The therapy modalities I commonly use to assist include: CBT, TF-CBT, Client centered, motivational interviewing, DBT, and a strength based approach.
I have a Master of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. I also have extensive knowledge & experience working with clients of a variety of backgrounds such as: mental illness, stress, depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, ADHD, emotional/behavioral disorders, substance abuse, professional athletes.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Grief, Sleeping disorders, Parenting issues, Anger management, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder
