First session
In our first session, we will focus on getting to know each other. I will gather information from you about what is leading you to seek therapy at this time and what support I can provide.
Strengths
I utilize a strength-based approach and will help you recognize that you may already possess the skills necessary to improve your mental health. Sometimes, we need another person to help us find the way out of the situation that is causing our distress.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with clients who are going through life transitions or seeking solutions with the support of an empathetic counselor. I have years of experience working with clients with addictions and their family members.
Treatment methods
Motivational Interviewing
I've used Motivational Interviewing as a counseling approach to helps individuals find the motivation to make positive decisions and accomplish established goals. This involves a collaborative conversation that strengthens a person's own motivation and commitment to change. It can help to address ambivalence about change, focusing on enhancing motivation and commitment to a specific goal.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilized CBT to help individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors. This leads to learning new and healthier coping strategies, as well as improved emotional well-being.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
With solution-focused therapy, we identify and build on the client's existing strengths and resources, while setting future-oriented, achievable goals.
