Hello I'm Bernard, I am a licensed therapist That has experience working with teens, young adults, college youth, and middle adults seeking relief from anxiety, depression, and life transitions. In sessions, I like to walk with my clients through their therapeutic journey’s no matter the difficulty. I am client centered maintaining the philosophy that every client no matter their age is the expert at their own existence and has the ability to heal. I utilize humor, when appropriate to strengthen therapeutic bonds to understand them as a person and to walk with them to their own solutions pertaining to their challenges.

I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and adults through difficulties with daily life challenges such as interpersonal relationships, family conflicts, life transitions, intimate partner challenges, and academic/career related stress. I use a humanistic approach to my therapeutic style to explore what works best for clients.
Some of the basic orientations I utilize are, Mindfulness and Person-Centered therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Narrative Therapy techniques. The therapy journey helps individuals understand thoughts, feeling, reactions, responses, aiding with healing and growth.
