Adult Substance Use Counselor
My goal is to educate my clients on their various treatment options, referred them to appropriate sources and help them know what to expect and how to deal with obstacles appropriately. I also empower them with the appropriate knowledge to make informed decisions and realistically approach treatment.
I believe that a commitment to therapy is a bold and brave decision to examine one’s life as it is in the present and create a life that is possible and achievable. I use a variety of treatment modalities to assist my clients achieve their goals. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)- is a psychotherapy treatment that is designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. Motivational Interviewing (MI)- is a counseling method that helps clients resolve ambivalent feelings and insecurities to find the internal motivation they need to change their behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)- is a psychotherapy that helps clients manage their emotions and improve their relationships. Psychotherapy- is a variety of treatment that aims to help clients identify and change troubling emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Person-Centered Therapy- is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on the clients’ self-discovery and growth, it is client-led because, I feel the clients are the experts in their lives. It is a supportive environment, client-led, unconditional self-worth, client centered, self-acceptance and personal growth.
