Therapist Overview
Congratulations on your first step towards a new you! I work hard with clients to transform existing coping mechanisms into healthier coping skills and grounding techniques to manage difficult emotions and stressors that come up in life. I have extensively worked in the field of substance abuse and incorporate psychoeducation into therapy sessions to promote a warm, learning and nonjudgmental environment. I utilize techniques that are in line with Reality Therapy, Existentialism, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Rational Emotion Behavioral Therapy to help adolescents and adults establish new routines, thought patterns and lifestyles. My charismatic attitude and realistic approach to therapy, alongside the use of humor and unconditional positive regard, promotes a healthy and trustworthy relationship that has been an asset to building success. Let’s start building towards a new future together!
