As a Therapist, I provide a solution-focused approach in therapy. I use active listening with my clients and offer a different perspective that they may not see or understand. By using the psychodynamic model, I draw parallels between adult and childhood experiences that could be influencing current decisions and experiences. I work to create an atmosphere where the client can be transparent. By taking inventory of the finite details of their lives, we can identify how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors have changed and create a treatment plan for healing. Our goal is to create a life of joy, happiness, and infinite bliss!
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I provide counseling services to adolescents, adults, and families who have experienced difficult situations. Oftentimes, life has become overwhelming or difficult to manage. I pride myself on recognizing the impact of stress, anxiety, and trauma from past and present experiences of daily living.
I am calm, I use empathic listening, and motivational interviewing to establish rapport with my clients. By using unconditional positive regard, I look to see the intent of the client and assist clients in reaching their authentic selves.
