Bio:
Specialties: Including but not limited to Children, Adolescents, and Adult Individual counseling, Coping Skills, Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Relationship issues, Self-Esteem, self confidence, Anger Management, Behavioral Management, Body/self Image, Peer Relationships, Relationship Issues, Couples/Marriage Therapy, Domestic and sexual Abuse, Anger Management, Life Coaching, Career Counseling, addiction, peer relationships, Geriatrics (Alzheimer's/Dementia), Counseling for Caregivers, Bereavement/grief counseling, Divorce, Communication Skills, Suicidal Ideation, Teen Violence, College and Career Counseling, pregnancy option counseling, post abortion counseling, miscarriage counseling, boundaries, toxic relationships, self care, mindfulness, crisis intervention, creative coping skills, coping skills for triggers, and eating disorders

Therapeutic approach: The method and approaches would depend on the client and their needs, but I usually draw most from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Informed, Strengths-Based, Motivational Interviewing, Existential therapy, Solution Focused, Person-Centered, and spirituality, and mindfulness. I believe that the mind, body, and spirit are connected and it is important to nourish all three.

I believe in helping and guiding people to emotional stability and empowerment, self determination,, teaching coping skills for stress and negative thoughts and emotions, start the healing process from trauma and abuse, and their ability to take control of their lives. Connecting with clients, gaining trust, developing a genuine therapeutic relationship with clients, providing empathy are the foundations of my counseling. I believe in the therapy process and hope clients will find the strength and potential they already had all along.
