About My Clients
I enjoy working with client from diverse backgrounds and of all ages. Many of my clients have struggled with depression, anxiety, ADHD, Trauma, relationship issues, identify issues, substance use issues, and many more concerns. I will always strive to honor the dignity, cultural identity, and personal values of my clients and their families regardless of race, ethnic group, religion, gender, creed, sexual orientation, or nationality. I am here to serve you and your families.
My Background and Approach
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, person center, and solution focused strategies in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I think the main reason we develop mental health issues is because they are unhealthy learned behaviors that we have picked up along the way. Which means that I think you can unlearn the faulty behaviors and replace them with healthy ones. I believe in the Pittsburgh Pirates, despite them continuing to have losing seasons, which demonstrates my commitment to things I love (lol). I love learning about new cultures, enjoy art and music, and find fulfillment in serving my community through volunteering. One of my favorite hobbies is reading and collecting books. I believe that love is love, I lead with kindness, and I believe every person regardless of race, ethnic group, religion, gender, creed, sexual orientation, or nationality deserve to be treated with kindness, respect, and dignity.
