My approach to care
My philosophy/approach to care emphasizes creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and feelings. I also believe that therapy is a process of empowerment and personal growth, helping clients develop the skills and resources to navigate life’s challenges and achieve their full potential.
Why I went into healthcare
I became a Behavioral Health Therapist because of my genuine interest in human psychology/behavior and how it impacts our relationships. I am passionate about helping others and making a positive impact on my clients and the community, which also brings me a sense of purpose.
Something you might not know about me
Something you might not know about me is that I used to be a barber. Looking back, I would say this job gave me my first taste of “counseling,” because it helped me learn the primary counseling skills like active listening, rapport building, patience, and empathy.
