I am the kind of clinician who will utilize real-life references and examples of how the interventions work, I am transparent, and nonjudgmental and will share with you the exact intent of my interventions. I have been working with children, adults couples and families throughout my career, I've been practicing for 26 years. I tailor my interventions to clients' expressed needs and goals collaboratively as I believe the client is the expert of their own lives, and my job is to help reframe and redirect self-awareness to ones existing strengths and to build upon them.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
You can anticipate a sense of hope and validation, with some tools to help reduce your symptoms and increase your trust in yourself. Of course, there is no guarantee however I will teach you all the things I know and hopefully some things will fit for you.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I am a client-centered therapist, and eclectic therapist using techniques suited to each individual's needs, then we collaborate on new ways for them to approach their lives with active, solution-focused tools to provide a sense of quick awareness to change. I use humor, empathy, direct questioning and the use of recommended homework to allow clients to utilize therapeutic tools during the week between sessions to practice change.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
