Sometimes life becomes overwhelming and we just want to find a safe place to unload the difficult thoughts and feelings. Sometimes you just want to be heard without judgement, with compassion, understanding, and with cultural sensitivity from a person centered prospective . I maybe who your looking for. My therapeutic approach is cognitive by introducing positive thoughts and behaviors to cancel out the negative thoughts and behaviors. I look at the whole person not just the obvious issues reported by an individual. Sometimes we need an outside observer to take the journey with us to cut thought life's everyday circumstances.
My therapeutic specialties are person centered with a self-determination approach. there are three basic psychological needs in humans : autonomy, competency, relatedness. I believe that you are the expert of your own life. I believe in creating a safe space for an individual to be able to freely and without judgement work on life's issues together .
I want to thank whoever reaches out to me because it is not an easy thing to admit needing help but it is half the battle fought when you can recognize it. I believe in creating a safe space . What does that mean? A safe space is a space where you are not judged, or made to feel inadequate. You are allowed to experience human emotions without fear .

I work with individuals and families struggling with trauma, addiction, chronic diseases, racial trauma. I am eclectic in my approach and very person centered. We will develop trust first so that an individual can feel safe in the therapeutic environment. We can then explore the reasons why and how we can address what's going on and work on mitigation.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral therapy with a strength - based approach I find that often self-determination is the motivator which brings an individual in to seek change, thought these approaches we can then find appropriate ways to mitigate the negative thoughts and help replace them with a more positive and healthy thought process for a better emotional health outcome.
