Hello to you! I want to thank you for taking the time to consider me to assist in your mental health journey, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who is passionate about providing support in a safe, nonjudgmental environment for my clients; where they feel heard, validated, and empowered to commit to the change they want in their life.
My belief is that effective treatment is collaborative. My objective is to assist individuals in exploring and identifying their strengths to help them overcome obstacles and challenges they face. Teach them tools to utilize to help improve their emotional well-being and build more positive relationships.
My professional experience includes working with children and their families, adolescents, adults, and couples concerning a variety of emotional and behavioral based issues. I utilize evidence-based approaches best suited for the specific needs of my clients.
My goal for the initial session is to focus on helping the client feel comfortable, safe, and understood. Discuss what prompted them to seek therapy. Spend time getting to know them by gathering information about their personal history, strengths, and exploring challenges to be addressed during treatment; utilizing motivational interviewing. Began identifying treatment goals to achieve optimal success.
