I believe that everyone has the tools they need to implement the changes they want. As a therapist, it is my job to help you access these tools through, providing new broader perspectives and understanding how contexts and perspectives may be limiting you. I practice under the theory that relationships work in systemic ways, meaning when one aspect of a relationship is not functioning as it should another aspect will suffer. Through collaborative discussion I will challenge you to broaden your perspective in relationships, allowing you to access your internal tools to implement the necessary changes. Sometimes life is just funny, during our sessions we will laugh, cry and we may even disagree all in an effort to reach our goals and or elevate symptoms. If you are willing to do the work together we can help you create change.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I usually keep first sessions light and easy, I know most clients are stressed and anxious before we even meet due to the circumstances that brought them in , the vonerability of letting me in, or just life in general and I do not want to add to that. With me first sessions are more of a meet and great unless the client expresses and urgent specific need.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Through compassion, kindness, and insight you will be challenged to broaden your perspectives and use your internal power to implement the changes you desire. I mainly practice through a solution-focused lens meaning your goal is my goal.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength is collaboration. Together with clients, we can foster productive and healthy relationships within your family and support systems. As well as a safe and supportive relationship with yourself.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with individuals and couples I strongly believe a lot of conflict and tension in peoples lives can be resolved through clear communication and taking a moment to listen to others perspectives. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their relationships or roles in relationships.
