I have experience counseling in the school system. I work with children/adolescents, adults, and couples from diverse cultures and backgrounds. I assist clients with addressing various presenting issues such as, anxiety, stress, ADHD, LGBTQA+, depression, adjustment/ transition, school issues, self-esteem, divorce, grief/loss, and relationships issues. In life, we go through many trials and tribulations that often leads us to seek validation and support. I provide my clients with an open, genuine, and non-judgmental safe space.
I use various therapeutic techniques and interventions such as, person-centered therapy, play therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Emotion Focused Therapy and humor. I have also completed level 1 of the Gottman’s Therapy for Couples Counseling.
I meet my clients where they are and through vulnerability, healing, and growth they will be able to gain the tools to live their life how they see fit. My hope is that my clients will be able to feel free and be the best version of themselves. I believe growth begins at the end of our comfort zone.
