Certificate of Advanced Study in School Counseling

Every one of us craves for something. We crave for more confidence, healthier relationships, less arguments and less stress. You might ask yourself that everything seems so much easier for everyone else. Unfortunately, technology has not made it possible for wishes to come from a genie that appears out of a lamp (as amazing as that would be.) To achieve a fulfilling life it takes  hard work and you don’t have to do it all by yourself.

As a therapist, I’ve worked with children, adolescents and young adults in a safe, confidential, non-judgmental environment. I have advanced training in person-centered therapy as well as DBT. DBT (or dialectical behavior therapy) is a therapeutic method that helps with finding techniques for emotional regulation. The goal of DBT is to transform negative behaviors into positive outcomes. Additionally, I have experience with working with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, learning disabilities, anger management, trauma, and career challenges.

So, whether you’re feeling lost, lonely, anxious or depressed don’t hesitate to reach out to someone who can help. I look forward to meeting you and helping you accomplish any range of goals you hope to achieve.
