I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, we'll will begin with a brief introduction, then we talk about the difficulties that you are facing. This will help me tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs for follow up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I decided to become a therapist because I wanted to help people make positive changes in their lives. In my experience as a social worker with a community agency, addiction counselor, and mental counselor, I have always enjoyed helping people during difficult times.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I believe my approach is a good fit for adults and teenagers who are experiencing life challenges and social issues.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I have been using Solution Focused for 6 years. It has helped many clients focus on solution building rather than problem solving. We use Solution Focused therapy which minimizes emphasis on past failings and problems and instead focuses on client's strengths and pervious successes.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been using Cognitive Behavioral therapy for many years. It helps many clients' challenge their thoughts and manage depression and anxiety. CBT treatment usually involves efforts to change thinking patterns.
