Mind Over Mentoring

As a culturally competent human service professional, I have a passion for providing support to individuals: assisting them in connecting with their strengths, and introducing them to coping strategies in order that they may function independently. I utilize solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy in conjunction with dialectical behavior therapy. I specialize in case management and individual skill building for children, adolescents, and adults and substance abuse counseling. “The mind is more powerful than the body and it has the strength to influence any obstacles.” Motivating an individual to focus on the solution and resources instead of the problem creates an environment where individuals become excited about discovering hidden strengths and unrecognized internal solutions.
