About My Clients
My ideal client is one that is willing to put in the effort while in treatment. I always celebrate the "try" rather than the goal being achieved because I believe that trying outside of our comfort zones is the hardest action to do. I practice with adult population only. My ideal client values communication and collaborative work. My ideal client is respectful of time and effort that the treatment process takes.
My Background and Approach
I am a licensed professional counselor in clinical mental health counseling. I specialize in mental health and trauma informed care. To me, there is no hierarchy in treatment. You provide the lived experience and I provide the knowledge on how to process what you’re going through and cope with symptoms effectively. Because of this, I take a collaborative approach to treatment. This team-based approach has been palatable for many different demographic clients because it teaches us to rely on others while simultaneously developing self-development. I am a thorough and detail-oriented clinician which helps clients feel cared about, understood, and supported. I use cognitive behavioral approaches to help clients confront problematic thinking and understanding patterns in their behaviors. I use a person-centered approach in rapport building with my clients so that they feel empowered during their treatment.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I'm currently working at a group practice called Journey to A Trauma Informed Life that focuses on helping populations that are marginalized such as POC and the LGBTQIA+ community. I have worked in recovery at Glenbeigh Outpatient Center that worked with the addiction population. Both experiences have reinforced my belief that anyone can recovery as long as they're supported properly.
