I have experience working with a very diverse set of individuals over the course of my career in the mental health field. Most individuals I work with struggle with issues that are considered dual diagnosis, or individuals that struggle with both mental health and substance use issues. I have experience working with all different ages, ethnicities, sexual orientation, mental health issues, and substance use preferences. I also come from a lens of years of lived experiences and being able to offer a lens of "coming out the other side." I provide an empathetic atmosphere that is goal orientated, and comes from an unbiased lens.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Adlerian Therapy Focuses on understanding a person’s sense of belonging and purpose. It helps people overcome feelings of inferiority and create healthier relationships.
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Multicultural Therapy Acknowledges the role of culture, race, and identity in mental health. It values diversity and adapts treatment to each person’s background.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: Understanding the connection between mental health and substance use is crucial in overcoming the difficulties of these concerns. I have lived it, learned it, and now want to provide knowledge and support in helping others get through the deep pains that comes with these struggles. I get the most joy of watching people grow and succeed into their new future.

I offer an open ear that has gone through many of the same things my client's have. I enjoy building a positive, supportive, therapeutic relationship, where individuals feel at ease to share what there struggling with, and are open to looking at situations and experiences from a different lens.
