As a Mental Health Counselor at Green Counseling Services in Waterloo, I have a passion for working with individuals with a variety of mental health concerns. I provide a compassionate and person-centered space to support clients through many of life's problems. I have had the honor of working with a diverse population of clients. I work with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, academic stress, trauma, life transitions, and stress management. I am also open to working with individuals experiencing ADHD and OCD related concerns.
My counseling approach is one built on trust, honesty, and a strong rapport. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy in addressing client concerns, while incorporating elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Strengths-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
My goal is to meet clients where they are in life's journey and work collaboratively with them to obtain their goals in counseling. Additionally, I aim to develop personal insight and skills that will help in navigating life's challenges.
