Philosophy
I believe that everyone has the potential for growth and change, and that therapy can help unlock that potential. I provide a safe and supportive environment where my clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Approach
My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and evidence-based. I prioritize building a trusting and safe therapeutic relationship.
My Story
Over two decades ago, my journey into the field of therapy began with a profound mission—to alleviate emotional suffering sparked by witnessing my mother's courageous battle with depression during my formative years. This experience ignited within me an unwavering commitment to helping others navigate similar challenges.
Starting as a counselor aide, I diligently climbed the ranks to eventually become a clinical director, gaining invaluable experience across state, private, and federal settings. These roles deepened my understanding of mental health dynamics and fortified my resolve to make a meaningful impact.
In recent years, my focus has been on delivering evidence-based care and developing specialized programs tailored for our military personnel. I am dedicated to innovating mental health care, particularly in virtual behavioral health (VBH). My passion lies in enhancing patient access to evidence-based care and improving patient outcomes. I have been instrumental in building clinical programs and maximizing resources to ensure efficient and effective service delivery. By utilizing Lean Six Sigma methodologies and fostering collaboration among various stakeholders, I have streamlined processes, significantly enhancing the patient experience.
This work has instilled in me a profound sense of purpose and confidence in my ability to meet the unique mental health needs of diverse communities. It is this conviction that drove the establishment of HOOLA Counseling and Consultation.
