As a Licensed Associate Counselor, I am passionate about helping individuals find their own voice and discover the “root ball” from which their distress stems. I feel privileged to be allowed to be part of each client’s journey and have had the honor to witness many transformations. I firmly believe that this process begins with forming a trusting therapeutic relationship. Therefore, I utilize a multicultural and strength based approach that meets the individuals where they are while building self-efficacy. . I believe each person deserves a non-judgmental space where they can feel safe to speak their truth.
I incorporate a multitude of evidence based interventions that include but are not limited to; CBT, mindfulness, person centered, strength based, yoga, trauma focused, wellness, art and play therapy. I am currently working toward trauma certifications.
I believe that in order to have a full life we must be connected in a meaningful way to the things we value. In order to do so we must find what is blocking us from that full life. My framework utilizes a strength based approach which focuses on building and enhancing a sense of self while working to reduce negative thoughts and feelings .
