Great to meet you!

I have worked in the behavioral health field for over 14 years and have worked with clients in numerous settings. I feel their is nothing as impactful as working with individuals one on one to address issues and witness positive outcomes in each and every person. The attraction to this particular field stems from my passion to help others and see people happy and satisfied with their lives. When providing therapy, I feel its my way to give back to the community in my own special way.

My approach to therapy

I enjoy using a client centered approach, which focuses on the belief that the client and not the counselor is the expert on their own thoughts, feelings, experiences and problems. I also specialize in providing Cognitive behavioral therapy approaches to identify and treat dysfunctional thinking that leads to dysfunctional emotions or behaviors. By changing their thoughts, people can change how they feel and what they do.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to take away from therapy sessions a deeper understanding of their thoughts and feelings, practical coping mechanisms to manage challenges, improved communication skills, a sense of self-awareness, the ability to identify patterns in their behavior, and the tools to work towards their personal goals, all within a safe and supportive environment where they can openly discuss their experiences and concerns.
