My aim as your potential counselor is to provide support, and guidance, and pro...

My approach to counseling is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT focuses on empowering you to resolve issues independently through exercises during our sessions and ""homework"" assignments. I assist clients in developing coping skills that enable them to change their thinking, manage problema...

The bulk of my experience is working with BIPOC women. When working with clients, my goal is not to tell clients what to do.

When they hear what they say aloud, they often have an ""aha"" moment. Once they come to the realization, I sometimes turn to a solution-focused model to offer guidance in determining the next steps. I'm...
