Hello and welcome. Have you been thinking about starting therapy for a while but feel overwhelmed by the idea of where to start? At whatever pace you are comfortable I am here to help you identify and prioritize your issues to begin to overcome the problems that are holding you back from thriving as your best self. Since earning my degree in 2003, I have worked with all age groups in the areas of anxiety, depression, codependency, addiction, self-harming, chronic pain, relationship issues, anger management, and life transitions. If you are ready to begin, I am ready to help you get motivated.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During your first session we will delve into your past and current life experiences to ensure we are able to identify the issues that need addressing. My goal is to provide a welcoming and non-judgmental platform to help you become your own catalyst for self-empowerment.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
The treatment modalities that I most commonly utilize include Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Positive Psychology, and Solution Focused Brief (SFBT).
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Since earning my graduate degree in 2003 I have gained experience in various areas of the mental health treatment field. My background includes working in an acute care inpatient psychiatric hospital as a therapist. I worked on all four units which include children, middle school, high school, adults, and formerly geriatrics. I have worked for a substance abuse treatment company in the capacity of an intensive outpatient therapist, an adolescent clinical coordinator for outpatient services, an inpatient therapist for adults, a facilitator for the adolescent family program, and a chronic pain therapist. Additionally, I have filled the roles of an elementary school counselor, a school-based therapist for grades K-12, and an adjunct instructor at a community college.
