Thank you for considering me to be a part of your mental health journey. I offer a unique blend of expertise in various therapeutic modalities, connecting with clients from diverse backgrounds. Specializing in solution-focused therapy, I guide individuals toward positive outcomes by building on their strengths. I'm also skilled in person-centered therapy, fostering a trusting, empathetic relationship to promote growth. Additionally, my experience in CBT and DBT equips clients with effective coping strategies and improved interpersonal skills. As a LCDC Intern, I provide compassionate support for addiction recovery.
Beyond my counseling work, my background as a college sprinter has instilled discipline, perseverance, and a goal-oriented mindset. This athletic experience shapes my understanding of setting ambitious targets and maintaining a strong work ethic to achieve results. It also enhances my counseling approach, emphasizing motivation and personal growth.
My unique combination of skills as a mental health counselor and former college sprinter allows me to bring a comprehensive and empathetic approach to my practice. I am dedicated to supporting individuals in their journey towards improved mental health and overall well-being, helping them achieve their personal and therapeutic goals.
