What should a new client know about working with you?
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I am proudly affiliated with the esteemed National Board of Certified Counselors. I have more than 6 years of working in private practice. My formal education and professional experience have prepared me to counsel individuals, couples, families, and groups. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients dealing with various mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, and school-based concerns, among others. I have a passion for working with adolescents and emerging adults. However, I am committed to helping all individuals.
I understand that asking for help can be challenging and uncomfortable for some. My goal, as your counselor, is to create a space where you can be open, vulnerable, and communicate your feelings without judgment.Â
I want to assure you, as a client, are in complete control. We can work together to help you reach your goals. My objective is to help you grow and move forward to where you want to be in your life.
My primary theoretical approach is cognitive behavior therapy. This is a short-term, goal-oriented psychotherapy treatment that takes a hands-on, practical approach to problem-solving. My goal is to change patterns of thinking or behavior that are behind client’s difficulties, and so change the way they feel.Â
Recognizing the importance of immediate support and tangible solutions, I
also incorporate Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) into my practice. I
understand that not every client's needs can be met through lengthy
processing alone. By focusing on defining and achieving concrete goals, we
can navigate through challenges and foster meaningful growth.
I work with clients from all backgrounds and cultural settings. I personally invite you to experience finding hope within yourself to navigate through 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.
