As a mental health and substance use therapist I have worked with youth and adults in both residential and outpatient settings. I have received additional and ongoing training in CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Grief counseling, Trauma Informed Care, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Sex Therapy, DBT, Existential Therapy, Behavior Management, ACT(Serious Mental Illness)Substance Use treatment: SMART, Exposure Therapy and Crisis intervention. However, I believe the greatest source of healing is self. Finding and honoring our authentic self is what derives purpose and meaning in our lives.
“We’re all just walking each other home.” Rami Healing- though intensely personal- is also fueled by connection- connection to one’s inner self and the world around. I approach wellness and healing from a mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical perspective to best serve your needs holistically- improving health and well-being.
It would be an honor to work alongside you in your healing journey- utilizing evidence based clinical practice and experience with the encouragement and nurturing of your self-awareness. We all have a story to tell no matter who we are where we come from. Let us finally stop the pointless suffering and start living our best life.
