Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy is a type of psychotherapy that helps people by focusing on changing patterns of thinking or behavior to address emotional challenges or mental health issues. It emphasizes identifying and modifying negative thought patterns to promote healthier emotions and behaviors.

Solution- Focused Therapy

Solution-Focused Therapy is a goal-oriented therapeutic approach that concentrates on solutions rather than dwelling on problems. It centers around identifying strengths and creating strategies to achieve specific, future-oriented goals, emphasizing a client's ability to enact change in their life.

Client- Centered Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy, is a humanistic approach to counseling that prioritizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness in the therapist-client relationship. The focus is on the client's self-exploration, growth, and self-actualization, with the therapist providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment for the client to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate #A16596 and a National Certified Counselor. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from the University of Central Florida. I went on to earn a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a licensure track in Professional School Counseling from Appalachian State University.

 

I have a passion for providing quality mental health services to individuals struggling with mental health disorders, stress, and trauma. With a background and license in Professional School Counseling, I have a compassion for children and adolescents that is rooted from experience and understanding. I believe therapy is a safe place for children to grow, learn, achieve goals and foster independence and sense of self.  I also have experience working with adults of all ages dealing with a variety of concerns including but not limited to mood disorders, anxiety disorders, relationships, grief, and trauma.

​

I am dedicated to helping individuals address their mental health concerns in a safe space.  I use a mix of modalities to meet various individual needs including cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and person-centered therapies, tailored to suit your unique needs and strengths. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important elements in guiding this process, as such, clients are collaborators in their own treatment plan.
