Hello there my name is Blake and I look forward to getting to know and work with you. I've been fortunate enough to work with all age ranges for the past 6 years providing assistance to those struggling with anxiety, depression, suicidality, post-traumatic stress, as well as grief and loss. I enjoy working alongside my clients utilizing evidence-based techniques to improve the quality of life and reinstill a healthy and sustainable trajectory.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session will encompass reviewing your expectations and hopes for therapy. Completing the intake reviewing the assessment tools you completed and creating a therapeutic goal to help guide and focus future sessions.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I enjoy exploring and using the coping skills readily available and sustainable for my clients. Such coping skills often include: music, exercise, journaling, art, crafting, reading, prayer/spiritual practice, breathing, and meditating to name a few. The most effective and important things needed for therapy of course include honesty and clear goals to aim for in therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength is that I am approachable and easy to talk to on account of my ability to use active listening. My hope is to help you feel heard, provide fresh and honest insight, as well as set up sustainable and healthy habits to improve your quality of life.
