challenges that require intervention and processing in ways that may restore a greater life balance and well being.
First session
I would like to get to know you regarding what you feel are your unique and specific main problems, symptoms, and issues that need to be dealt with in therapy, as well as any past or present problems or challenges that may contribute to these. I will also ask you about your personal strengths and weaknesses. We will also begin to explore what you want on your treatment plan, as well as any goals and objectives you have for therapy, and the best treatment approach for you.
Strengths
I am a supportive non judgmental therapist with an ear for helping clients change how they may think or behave so they can improve their self images and relational images with others. I let you take the lead while helping you discover what you can realistically change, and what you can do differently behaviorally and cognitively to improve quality of life. Also, I will explore what lifestyle practices are working for you, and any that you are aware of that are not working for you, while adding this to the treatment planning.
Ideal clients
I am best positioned to serve adult clients 18 and up who are experiencing mild to moderate symptoms of depression and/or anxiety and are motivated to seek restorative therapy. My ideal clients seek individual therapy.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I am experienced with various treatment approaches, but primarily the CBT approach to treat distressful symptoms someone may have as a result of developing dysfunctional behavioral coping and thinking challenges that have resulted from difficult life experiences.
