In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In your first session with me you can expect to gain and understanding of why I chose to serve in this manner. The short version of what motivated me to be a vessel of healing and growth for others. You will be given the space to share your perspective of why you reached out to me, and I will help you prioritize your therapeutic needs. We may or may not create a plan in the first session. Dont be overwhelmed by the word "plan." I simply mean an area or areas to focus on to give you a sense of direction. You will always leave sessions with me feeling better than when you arrived, and will always have something to think about in between sessions.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (thought reframing) Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (accepting our emotions) Trauma Informed Therapy AND Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Substance Abuse Counseling Motivational Enhancement Therapy Employee Assistance Counseling (work related stress-conflict resolution)

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My biggest strengths are my honesty and my ability to see what you are unable to see. I reframe your confusion and fears in a way for you to understand, and thoughtfully present them. I believe in short term solution-focused therapy! Lastly, I am accountable when I am wrong.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Individuals who are motivated to put the work in to change. If you are not in a space where you apply (at some point) the guidance gained in your sessions then short term therapy is NOT for you.
