About

With over 2.5 years of experience, I am proficient in a spectrum of blended therapy treatment methodologies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Gestalt Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness-based interventions. My professional journey has also encompassed the crafting and development of extensive curricula on mindfulness and grounding exercises, aimed at enhancing the psychological resilience and overall well-being of my clients. As an articulate speaker, I have a proven track record of effectively leading and engaging in socio-political group discussions, leveraging my comprehensive knowledge and empathetic communication skills to educate and connect with a diverse array of participants. My counseling philosophy is anchored in a commitment to deeply understand and honor the individual stories of those I assist, ensuring that each therapeutic engagement is personalized to support their path to recovery and personal empowerment.
