I love being a therapist. I am honored to see clients for who they really are and learn about their lived experiences. Resilient Human Spirit Counseling Services, LLC has one goal: to help people heal with their inner strength that has always been there.
I believe authenticity on both ends matters the most in the therapeutic relationship and process. I work diligently to always assess our therapeutic alliance and our progress with your goals, and incorporate intentional Cognitive Behavioral techniques and interventions in addition to Person-Centered ones. Together we can build awareness and understanding to your symptoms and take steps to see real change and alignment.
I always prioritize 3 things in the first session 1. introducing myself virtually 2. ensuring you understand and agree to the Informed Consent (limits to confidentiality, mandated reporting, etc.) and 3. completing a thorough psychosocial intake which basically means I want to know as much as you are willing to share with me about your identity and noteworthy lived experiences. I see it as learning the big picture before diving deeper in subsequent sessions. I, off the bat, display my genuine and authentic self in order to build strong rapport that will carry the therapeutic process along.
