I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for 12 years in the state of Louisiana. I have worked in the mental health field for 15 years. My expertise is working with adults, young adults, and teenagers who have challenges and issue(s) that has caused extreme stress, anxiety, depression or trauma. I am a contemporary forward thinking therapist who is nonjudgemental because "Life happens to all of us."
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral health (CBT) because I am a firm believer that negative thinking and behaviors can be changed or modified through this behavioral health modality. In addition, I use Solution Focus Therapy, Mindfulness, Reality and Problem Solving Therapies.
In our first session, I will begin building a client-therapist relationship, building rapport and trust. I also ensure that the client feels the space is safe, warm, and inviting. Lastly, I incorporate the client-centered approach that focuses on the idea that clients can grow, heal, and solve problems in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment.
