Great to meet you!

I follow the concept that therapy can heal emotional pain, improve relationships and increase self-understanding. Beginning therapy can often be intimidating, but can make a big difference in your ability to cope with challenges or make sense of what has happened so you can gather the skills to move forward. I am open to addressing unresolved or present barriers in your life, guide and help you make sense out of your own thoughts ideas and conflicts (situational).

My approach to therapy

I utilize a cognitive based reality approach when working with client to uncover trauma, change perception & work through managing. I also incorporate psychodynamic approach and mindfulness approach.

What you can expect from me

Facilitating behavioral change.

Helping improve the client's ability to both establish and maintain relationships.

Helping enhance the client's effectiveness and their ability to cope.

Helping promote the decision-making process while facilitating client potential.
