LCMHC, 15 years of experience
I believe therapists are only wounded survivors with education and training, who seek to help their fellow person face life's difficulties. Just like you, I have faced hardship and continue to work every day towards a better self. I aim to provide my clients with an experience that puts them in a position to succeed. My space is a judgment-free zone, with work taken at your pace. I don’t have the magic solution to solve your problems, but I am well-equipped to help you find those answers within yourself. I encourage you to take a leap of faith for yourself, as life changes are achievable when individual ideas collide with positive actions.
After discussing your background and what brings you to therapy, we’ll get into your goals. I invite my clients to dream freely– these hopes will help inform how we approach treatment.
I hold unconditional positive regard for my clients and a deep empathy for their experiences. I’m very rarely shocked by what is brought up in session, and I cherish the connection developed between therapist and patient. I’ll keep it real with you as compassionately and directly as I can. This authentic approach is the catalyst for change, which I am proud to offer my clients.
I am able to work with just about anyone who is ready to make positive changes for lasting improvement.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been around for many decades. I have been using it in my counseling practices for over 15 years. We will use CBT to recognize disrupting negative/automatic thoughts and replacing them with helpful ones. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is all about giving you concrete tools to navigate your emotions, control your thinking, and thus eliminate unwanted behaviors……
Eclectic therapy is a form of psychotherapy that adapts to the unique needs of each patient, depending on the problem, the treatment goals, and the person’s expectations and motivation. By utilizing an eclectic counseling style I am able to draw from a variety of disciplines and may use a range of proven methods to determine the best combination of therapeutic tools to help a patient. I work to customizes the therapeutic process for each individual by using whatever form of treatment, or combination of treatments/modalities, has been shown to be most effective for a particular problem.
