What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Beginning therapy means different things to different people, but it is often an action of courage, hope, self-care, and self-determination. You might or might not have been to a therapist before. If this is your first experience with therapy, you might feel a bit nervous or apprehensive. That’s normal! Therapy is a process that allows you the freedom and privacy to discuss issues that are often painful or difficult to discuss with family and/or friends. I believe that in the process of our work together, you can begin to feel more at home within yourself and within your relationships.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-focused therapy, also called solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), is a type of therapy that places far more importance on discussing solutions than problems (Berg, n.d.). Of course, you must discuss the problem to find a solution, but beyond understanding what the problem is and deciding how to address it, solution-focused therapy will not dwell on every detail of the problem you are experiencing.

CBT is a psychotherapeutic approach designed to improve mental health by modifying dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and thoughts. It is effective for treating a range of conditions, including:
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a form of psychotherapy that identifies and addresses multiple sub-personalities or families within each person’s mental system. According to the IFS model, each individual has a “system” of internal parts or sub-personalities that have different emotions, beliefs, and behaviors. The goal of IFS is to help clients access “Self” so that they can heal wounded parts and bring their minds into balance
