I am a dedicated and adaptable mental health counselor with more than 15 years of experience. If you come talk to me; together, we will work on strategies that allow you to address the root causes of your difficulties and build meaningful social connections. When human beings experience trauma or severe life stressors, it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel. My great passion is bringing healing to people who have been through a traumatic or stressful experience.
I believe understanding race, ethnicity, and culture (including one’s own) is necessary to appreciating the diversity of human dynamics and treating all clients effectively. Incorporating cultural competence into treatment improves therapeutic decision-making and offers alternative ways to define and plan a treatment program that is firmly directed toward progress and recovery.
We will complete an assessment and gather information. I secure information from a basic genogram, covering your history in the areas of past and family. I empower individuals to overcome personal obstacles to improve their relationships by using clinically-tested and evidence-based interventions. I take a direct approach with my clients, never sugar-coating or telling them what they want to hear; I focus on what they need to hear to achieve the results they desire.
