Counseling Background/ Experience

During my time at Booker Behavioral Health Center, the location I completed my 1,000 hours of
clinical work, I have gained valuable experience counseling children who present with a variety
of issues. I have worked with clients who have issues related to anxiety, mood disorders, anger
management, autism spectrum disorders, cognitive disorders, and impulse control.
I feel that it is imperative to fit counseling skills and techniques to the client, rather then a client
to the techniques so I am an advocate of using multiple theoretical modalities including cognitive
behavioral therapy, client centered therapy and play therapy.
Confidentiality

All information shared is confidential, and will not be shared without your consent. With that being said,
there are some limitations to this confidentiality. Private information may be disclosed to other
professionals in order to provide the highest level of care. In the case that information discussed would
indicate imminent danger toward an identified individual or oneself, then confidentiality would be
broken to prevent that harm from occurring. Reasonable suspicion of abuse/neglect of a minor, elderly
adult, or dependent adult would also hinder confidentiality. Additionally, information can be disclosed if

ordered by the courts, or if you are a minor for whom confidentiality is limited to the extent exercised by
your parent/legal guardian.
