My multidisciplinary background spans Public Administration, Social Work, and Criminal Justice, which empowers me to provide comprehensive Program Management and Mental Health Services to a diverse range of individuals. While I have extensively worked with Military Service Members, my services are not limited to this group. I am dedicated to creating individualized treatment plans and providing supportive counseling services that aid individuals of all backgrounds, professions, and experiences in overcoming adjustment disorders, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, as well as other symptoms associated with trauma from various life experiences. I am proud to be recognized as an International Certified Addiction Counselor. With this prestigious title, I provide extensive counseling services not just to individuals grappling with varying degrees and types of addiction, but also their families. I believe that understanding addiction and the recovery process can be a collective effort, which is why I provide educational information concerning the different aspects of addiction, treatment phases, support plans, and relapse prevention techniques to patients and their loved ones alike. With my holistic approach to mental health, every individual gets personalized attention and careful consideration. This aids in achieving realistic recovery goals, which contributes to a more fulfilling personal life, family dynamics, and career development. You are welcome to benefit from my professional care irrespective of your cultural background, working sector, or walk of life.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience: - Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be that person for you. - Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you will take to achieve those goals. - Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear understanding of what's going on. - Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also important to be patient and not expect instant results. - Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones. - Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important to be receptive to these suggestions. Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
