EDUCATION & TRAINING:

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate. I earned a Master of Counselor

Education, Clinical Mental Health, at North Carolina Central University in August of 2021.  I am

also a Licensed Professional Counselor in Idaho. 

​

COUNSELING APPROACH:

I apply a Person-Centered approach to counseling which means rather than viewing people

with mental health needs as inherently flawed, with problematic behaviors and thoughts

that require treatment, I recognize that each person has the capacity and desire for personal

growth and change. I use various counseling techniques such as unconditional positive regard,

and theories such as Nurture Play Structure (NPS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT),

psychodynamic therapy, narrative therapy, and Gestalt therapy as well as Psychoeducation to provide the utmost individualized plan of care and professional counseling support. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process and guides clients to increase self-awareness, gain new perspectives. Through my work, I strive to foster a safe space where clients can tell their story, gain insight into how that has impacted them, and create a new reality that is more fulfilling.

 

I received Specialized Substance Addiction Training from the North Carolina Central University while completing his Master’s Degree.
