My strengths that I bring as a therapist are the knowledge of principles, methods, and procedures for diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of physical and mental dysfunctions, counseling and guidance. I also, have an understanding of human behavior and performance; individual differences in ability, personality, and interests; learning and motivation; psychological research methods; and the assessment and treatment of behavioral and affective disorders that will help students who struggle with more than their academics. I can provide my clients with excellent strategies. I will help them provide solutions that will achieve their therapeutic goals. I know how to quickly identify problem areas and implement effective solutions to meet their goals. I have a strong sense of responsibility not only to myself but also to my clients. I believe in upholding solid professional standards and I strive for an excellent track record of dependability. My goal as a counselor is to maintain focus on achieving results while implementing solutions to meet a diversity of needs of my clients.
