As a Mental Health Counselor at Green Counseling Services in Waterloo, I am passionate about providing compassionate, client-centered care to individuals navigating a wide range of mental health concerns. I have had the privilege of working with a diverse population, primarily ages 16 and older, and supporting clients through challenges such as anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, grief, trauma, stress, and bipolar disorder.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in building a strong foundation of trust and rapport. I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address client concerns, but I also incorporate elements of Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
I am committed to meeting clients where they are in their journey, working alongside them and licensed professionals to provide both individual and group counseling services. My goal is to support clients in developing the insight and skills needed to navigate their challenges and move toward meaningful change.
