I will help you in your desire to close the gap between where you are right now and where you want to be in the future, with the support of individualized therapy sessions. Let's find a solution together! My name is Ms. Eaves. I am a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a board-certified counselor. Currently, I am pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Psychology with a specialization in addictions. I began my Counseling career 2014. Although cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the primary modality that I focus on, I use an eclectic psychotherapy approach to meet the client-specific need. To illustrate, I provide clients with CBT tools to deal with events of everyday living and explore critical issues using an approach that is appropriate to meet the client-specific problems. The CBT approach has many advantages in multicultural counseling situations. Thus, if therapists understand the core value of their culturally diverse clients, they can help clients explore these values and gain a full awareness of their conflicting feelings. As a therapist with a cognitive behavioral orientation, I will educate you to focus on learning skills to deal with your problems of living. Then you and I will work together to develop a detailed case conceptualization to understand how you views their world. While being sensitive to each client's struggle, I explore values and core beliefs in a nonjudgmental environment with empathy to help clients to learn how to empower themselves by relying on their inner strength. These experiences have given me a prodigious foundation to build to the knowledge gained during the graduate program and fieldwork through direct counseling experience with individuals. *Currently video sessions are not offered unless discussed with me in advance.

It takes courage to say, “I need some extra support right now,” and I want to honor the strength it took to arrive here. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, low moods, or just feeling stuck in patterns that don’t serve you anymore—you’ve already taken the first step toward change by being here. My approach is rooted in “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)”, a method that has helped countless people find relief and build resilience. What I love about CBT is that it’s not just about talking—it’s about learning skills and strategies you can actually use in your day-to-day life. Together, we’ll explore the thoughts and habits that may be keeping you stuck, and I’ll support you in gently shifting them so you can begin to feel lighter, more balanced, and more in control. Here’s what you can expect when we work together: * A warm, welcoming space where you’ll feel truly heard and never judged * Practical tools to help you break free from cycles of worry, stress, or self-doubt * Support in building coping strategies that *fit you and your life* * Guidance in reconnecting with your strengths so you can start to feel more like yourself again I don’t believe in “quick fixes,” and I don’t believe anyone is broken. What I do believe is that small, steady steps forward—when taken with support—can lead to lasting change.
