Great to meet you!

Welcome to Therapy! My name is Edna and I have been a therapist for more than a decade. I have worked in an inpatient setting and in outpatient clinics treating individuals with Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders. You should be proud in taking the first step to be in charge of your mental health and well being.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I utilize an engaging approach with clients by utilizing best practices in therapy such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Setting goals in therapy is a major component as you begin making the changes necessary to live a more fulfilling and joyous life.

What you can expect from our first session

After each session, clients may experience a better understanding of their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Clients will have a clear mind and be able to make decisions that will positively influence their life. Clients will be able to identify where they are at in the goals they have established and what changes are needed to continue to meet their goals.
