In sessions with me, clients can expect a safe, non-judgmental space where they are treated with dignity and respect; here's what you can expect to take away from our sessions: 1) Gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your goals, and values; 2) Coping Strategies; 3) Improved Relationships; 4) Empowering - feel more confident in your ability to handle life's challenges; therapy isn't only about overcoming adversity; it's about tapping into your own strengths and realizing your potential; 5) Healing; 6) Personal growth and self-discovery

In my practice as a Mental Health Specialist, I utilize a variety of treatment methods and tools to best support my clients' needs. Here's some examples of what you can expect: 1) Motivational interviewing: taking a collaborative, goal-oriented method of communication with particular attention to the language of change. 2) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) 3) Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) 4) Crisis Intervention 5) Solution-Focused Techniques 6) Empowerment: This involves helping clients see how powerful they really are and using this power to overcome personal obstacles for growth and improvement.
