I specialize in relationships, addictions, and personal growth. Clients seeking help with issues with anger, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and relationship challenges. I provide therapy with individual diagnosis and tailored treatments. Working with a bachelor's in psychology and a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I have years of counseling experiences ranging from family, marriage, and the penal systems. I work with patients in person and virtually to achieve patient goals. I use under-developed patient strengths and therapeutic techniques to achieve a positive well being.
Validating client-centered therapy, valuing individual's experiences and strengths. A safe, non-judgmental space for exploration with absolute confidentiality. Through collaboration, we identify goals and develop growth strategies. My approach draws from evidence-based techniques CBT, DBT, mindfulness, art therapies, play therapies, and trauma therapies.
Therapy is a journey. Together we discover your meaning and positively achieve self-awareness. Learning to recognize distortions where we reevaluate behaviors. Recognizing options and taking steps to change behaviors or thoughts can lead to a peaceful life. Supportive therapy can enhance positive communications and empathy.
