ABOUT ME
I have been working in the mental health field since 2012, and my experience includes work in residential, outpatient, and partial hospitalization settings. I have earned my masters in clinical mental health counseling and my bachelors in psychology. I enjoy being creative and providing psycho-education in my sessions.
Philosophy of Healing and Therapy
My personal philosophy of healing is not standardized. Growth comes from a place of vulnerability and courage to face difficult truths and clients will learn and grow through a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship. Acceptance of all parts of ourselves is fundamental in therapy and I believe change requires a willingness to transfer negative energy out in order to make room for our ideal selves. The therapeutic process will provide a space for clients to discover their needs and the best way to meet them. With my assistance, you will learn about your own limitations and how to best work with them while decreasing judgment and criticism. Your journey will teach you how to be mindful and aware of yourself and others. My hope is that you will gain a difference in perspective that serves you and provides a basis for unconditional love and acceptance for your life.
