Summary
With over 8 years of experience in the behavioral health field, I was able to gain knowledge and skills to support my clients in person-centered approaches. I currently provide individual and group therapy to adolescents and adults struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, and a variety of other mental health challenges. My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and client-centered, integrating evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and faith-based counseling for clients who wish to incorporate their spiritual beliefs into the therapeutic process. I work collaboratively with clients to process difficult experiences, build effective coping skills, improve emotional regulation, strengthen resilience, and promote lasting healing and personal growth in a safe, supportive, and culturally responsive environment.
