LPC, 20 years of experience
Hi, I am Sally! Welcome to a new adventure and journey in your life which promises a more rewarding future for yourself! I look forward to meeting you and getting to know to you! Did you know it takes courage and strength to enter therapy? Do you long to be listened to, have your feelings heard and understood without judgment or criticism? How about building your confidence, peace of mind and ability to depend on yourself? Are you interested in improving your ability to balance your academics, social life and personal time? Reconnect to your best self, or discover it for the first time! Learn practical, down to earth ways to build your confidence, manage your time and make the best of your opportunities. Have fun learning and growing. Counseling/therapy does not have to be difficult and painful, but can be eye opening, expansive and energizing. I bring humor, common sense approaches to help you learn to calm down and focus on your priorities. I use my background in yoga, meditation, and relationship building skills to enrich our learning together to discover what best meets your needs.
I see the first session as an opportunity to get to know each other. You get to ask questions and check me out while I am doing the same thing!
I am practical, so I am looking at your interests strengths, interests and talents, and help you build on them. I use CBT to help you challenge your old, outdated negative self beliefs and actions so that you can bring the best of yourself forward. I also use breathwork, meditation, self awareness and our relationship to help you feel comfortable in your body and with others.
I recognize the gifts and talents, the strengths, you have and help you to recognize what you bring to your life, how you contribute through your uniqueness.
Anxiety, depression, ADHD. I have worked with students K-12, college students, working people, parents, single adults and more. I find it hard now to work with people under 18 on video as I believe you/they need more active engagement.
