Numerous factors influenced my decision to pursue counseling, with the primary motivation being my desire to assist individuals in improving their quality of life. At the core of my approach as a clinician is a firm conviction in the importance of fostering a secure and trusting therapeutic connection. It's vital for me, as your counselor, to ensure a safe environment where clients (such as yourself!) can receive support characterized by sincerity and empathy. In collaboration, we will aim for positive changes in your life, harness your strengths, achieve your therapeutic objectives, and alleviate your discomfort.
As an eclectic counselor, I utilize multiple evidence-based counseling theories such as CBT, REBT, Solution-Focused, Person-Centered, Positive Psychology and Psychodynamic. I have experience working with disorders such as depression, anxiety, autism, OCD, personality disorders, schizophrenia, substance abuse and many others!
Having completed my advanced degree in mental health counseling, I bring both a deep understanding of psychology and a genuine passion and enthusiasm for working alongside you to achieve your objectives. Together, we'll focus on fulfilling your goals and enhancing your quality of life!
