The process of working with a new client is to gather pertinent information about the client's psychosocial, environment, and past family history to help accurately diagnose the client. Once a diagnosis is made then a treatment plan would be developed conjointly between the client and me utilizing S.M.A.R.T. goals. S.M.A.R.T. goals are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-based goals that would help the client be successful in treatment. If you are looking for a counselor who is genuine, compassionate, authentic, and who will listen and care about your concerns. Then I am here to help you restore your self-worth.

Clients who seek my services embrace spiritually-integrated counseling and therapy, which combines empirically-based interventions with spiritual resources in their journey of transformation. Despite the different reasons that bring clients to therapy, all of them need a safe space to unravel the problematic narratives of their lives, embrace the possibility of new futures, and learn new practices that help strengthen personal and communal bonds.

Sometimes we find ourselves in a repetitive cycle and search for ways to get unstuck. It can be overwhelming and hard especially since there is no magic one size fits all solution. Sometimes we are faced with the stress of stigma that comes with these struggles and the many identities that we hold. This can leave us feeling like we have nowhere to turn and no one safe to connect with who understands. It can be hard to navigate that journey on your own. Allow me to be that safe and confidential resource that works with you to identify the tools and develop the skills to move towards progress and break the cycle.

Often our hurtful experiences are out of our control. You didn’t choose to live with pain & society makes it hard to heal. You are tired of feeling alone and misunderstood. The reality is our experiences and memories can shape our beliefs and worldviews, creating guilt, anxiety, shame, anger, and isolation. Living with chronic pain, illness, trauma, anxiety, and grief – does impact us. Even if you don’t feel like it at this very moment, there is part of you that knows they deserve something more, whether it’s self-compassion, healthy connections, pleasure, joy, or the chance to move from surviving to thriving. Let's get curious.

As a clinician, I embrace a person-centered, strengths-based perspective, and I borrow from many different modalities in aiming to understand and meet the individual needs of each person and of each family. These theories include cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, solution-focused, reality-based, mindfulness-based and family systems theories. Techniques that I utilize may include dialogue, psycho-education, relaxation, reframing of negative thoughts, positive decision-making, role-play, mindfulness, or writing/art exercises.
