Licensed Professional Counselor Canidate
I am a licensed professional counselor candidate (LPCC). My main therapeutic approach is person-centered and strengths-based. I utilize multiple techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness, expressive/client-centered play therapy, sand tray therapy and others that best fit the needs and goals of the individual. I love spending time with my pets, taking my dogs for walks, listening to music, going to concerts, traveling, and being out in nature.
Insurances I Accept:
Aetna, BCBS, CHP+, Cigna, Kaiser, Medicaid, Private Pay, and United
How I Work:
In sessions you can expect a warm, nonjudgmental, and supportive space where you are the expert on your life. I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and self-understanding when given the right environment. I offer unconditional positive regard, empathy, genuineness, and strive to create a relationship where you feel safe to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace and I encourage different creative outlets. My role is to walk alongside you with compassion and respect, and to help you discover more of who you are.
