Through engagement in the therapeutic process with me, you can expect to address your circumstances daily and become your catalyst for change.

As a clinician, I utilize Carl Roger’s person-centered therapy. Rogerian theory empowers the client to be the expert in their life and story. This allows my clients to disclose, according to their comfort level, while continued rapport is being established. I utilize solution-focused therapy to collaborate with my clients on identifying problem areas, catalysts to change, and implementation of strategies to achieve such change. In addition, I am mindful of Maslow’s theory of human motivation while implementing interventions that ensure my client's safe transition through their hierarchy of needs. Lastly, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a type of psychotherapy used to help people change thoughts, feelings and behaviors that are causing them problems. My clients engaged in various activities that focused on cognitive reframing as CBT highlights how negative thoughts can lead to negative feelings and actions but reframing such thoughts more positively encourages more positive feelings and helpful behaviors.
