My approach emphasizes respect, active listening, and collaboration. I encourage successes while tailoring modalities to help clients achieve their desired goals.<\/p>\n<p>Before embarking on my counseling career, I worked as a Licensed Psychiatric Technician, employing positive behavioral interventions and motivational strategies for adults, which informs much of my therapeutic style today.<\/p>\n<p>Life can often overwhelm us, impacting our self-esteem and obscuring our strengths and worth. My focus is on using evidence-based modalities such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Informed Counseling, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to equip and empower my clients to manage their mental health effectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-47-0-0-3\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image\" data-index=\"3\"
