About My Clients

Sometimes in life, we are faced with certain challenges and do not know how to overcome them. Have you ever experienced someone that ghosted you or have you wondered if someone you love or care about is gaslighting you? These factors can cause stress, anger, anxiety, depression, isolation, or a mixture of emotions. These emotions may cause difficulty in making decisions. I evaluate each clients needs and explore what strategies work best.

My Background and Approach

I have a MA in Rehabilitation Counseling and Community Inclusion. This degree enabled me to be able to serve diverse populations of clients to evaluate individual needs, plan and implement interventions. I have a BS in psychology (Human Development) and I am a licensed Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant. My experience as a therapist has enhanced my skills as a counselor because it has allowed me to look at each client holistically (mentally, physically, and emotionally). I have experience working with diverse populations of clients who have physical challenges. My therapeutic approach is eclectic and my counseling style is genuine. I promote a positive warm, safe understanding, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can express themselves freely.
