About me

I am a highly experienced and dedicated counselor with a diverse background in providing mental health support to individuals, families, and groups across a range of settings. I have a strong foundation in psychology and family counseling, with expertise in cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy, and humanistic approaches. My work experience spans various sectors, including private healthcare companies, gender-affirming clinics, hospitals, schools, and the military. I am passionate about delivering culturally sensitive and evidence-based interventions to help clients navigate a wide range of challenges, from everyday stressors to complex mental health conditions. I am committed to fostering a safe and supportive therapeutic environment where clients can explore their concerns, develop coping strategies, and achieve their personal goals.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
ACT: Acceptance and Commitment TherapyRecommended for those who want to stop fighting negative thoughts and learn how to live with more acceptance and focus on what really matters in life.
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
My approach to counseling is rooted in a person-centered philosophy, where I believe in creating a safe and collaborative space for clients to explore their concerns. I am highly analytical and strive to understand the complex interplay of individual, systemic, and cultural influences that shape each person's unique experience. I approach my work with a non-judgmental and culturally competent lens, valuing the diversity of perspectives and backgrounds. My goal is to empower clients to develop self-awareness, build resilience, and achieve meaningful change in their lives.
