I believe that each one of us has the answers to our problems inside of us. However, sometimes we need someone on our journey to help us unlock those answers by asking the right questions-things you may not have considered, presenting proven strategies, and providing psychoeducation. Although you will make strides with the energy and effort you give, the number one predictor of improvement is the quality of the therapeutic relationship. I hope to provide a place of warmth, compassion, and acceptance where you feel empowered and free to approach any concerns. I earned my Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Roosevelt University and my Bachelor's degree from the University of Miami. I am here to help you along your journey.
The provider is a “Licensed Professional Counselor" and their license number is 37PC00927900.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe that each one of us has the answers to our problems inside of us. However, sometimes we need someone on our journey to help us unlock those answers by asking the right questions---things you may not have considered, presenting proven strategies, and psychoeducation. Although you will make strides with the energy and effort you give, the number one predictor that one will improve is the quality of the therapeutic relationship. I hope to provide a place of warmth, compassion, and acceptance in which you feel empowered and free to approach any concerns. I am here to help you along on your journey. I am a licensed mental health counselor in Arizona, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Utah. I graduated from Florida Atlantic University with an Educational Specialist degree in Mental Health Counseling. I also earned a Master's of Art from Roosevelt University. I have experience working with youth and their families as well as adults. The theoretical framework that I usually draw from is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. I also apply Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing Techniques as needed. I address trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, interpersonal skills, self-esteem, anger, problem-solving, and decision-making. I also have experience with parent management training and substance abuse. In conjunction with therapy, I believe that exercise, proper nutrition, and good sleep hygiene are an integral part of overcoming mental health concerns. Change, even positive change can be challenging and uncomfortable. I hope to provide the necessary support as a champion of change.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My approach is client-directed. Clients that are not ready to be proactive in taking actionable steps are free to only talk. For those ready to process and change, I provide resources and therapeutic homework after each session. I generally operate from the framework of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, therefore the main focus is identifying unhelpful, irrational thoughts and reframing them. If you can think differently then you can feel and behave differently. The goal is to change the mindset in order to build happiness and increase one's quality of life.
