My approach to therapy relies on the premise of collaboration and trust to begin with a strong therapeutic alliance. I find it essential to engage in a non-judgmental approach, using a curious stance and Socratic dialogue to elicit elaboration of salient issues as new insights are uncovered. Psycho-education is a key component of my approach to therapy providing the necessary tools enhancing skills while working on the identified goals.

My communication style
My communication style is centered around creating a collaborative and trusting relationship. I aim to foster open dialogue, actively listen to your concerns, and provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions. Through empathy, understanding, and gentle guidance, we will work together to uncover insights and develop strategies for growth and healing.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to mental healthcare began with a deep desire to help others navigate life's challenges and find a path to wellness. I earned my Master's in Counseling from the University of Phoenix, driven by a passion for understanding the human experience and facilitating positive change. Throughout my career, I have served in various roles, including working with individuals struggling with substance use disorders, co-occurring disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma. These experiences have shaped my holistic approach to therapy, recognizing the unique needs of each individual.
