Do you find it difficult to find the motivation and energy in completing daily tasks? Are you struggling with constant worries and anxieties about life? You are not alone! As pressures with life in the home, career and social settings continue to build, it is important to make sure that you are taking care of yourself! I am a licensed therapist that focuses on ways to process and improve your daily challenges with symptoms from depression, anxiety, stress, hopelessness, bipolar and schizophrenic disorders. I am here to walk the journey with you as you discover ways to build the best versions of yourself. My journey as a clinician began 20 years ago working with children and families in foster care systems. From there, I have worked in outpatient and inpatient psychiatric settings with multiple mental health diagnoses and provided care to thousands. My focus and specialty are adults with mood and psychotic disorders and assisting to reduce symptoms and improve daily functions.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The goal for each of our sessions will be building rapport or a relationship where you feel comfortable exploring and processing triggers and symptoms. Over time you should expect to see changes in your thoughts, the ability to communicate your needs to others, and an understanding of your journey. The ultimate goal is to decrease your symptoms, but being able to feel supported and empowered is my main target.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Methods used for treatment will be psychotherapy, cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution-focused, and task-centered. You will be responsible for coming to the session and being transparent and processing. You will also have homework and worksheets to assist with the process. This will assist us in continued growth while receiving services!!
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have several years of experience and with this comes a lot of knowledge regarding symptoms and treatment; however, my biggest strength is being able to meet you where you are and center your treatment around your needs. We are all different, and what may work and be successful for one, may not work or be successful for you. I am dedicated to ensuring that you feel supported and empowered to take your journey and path to healing according to your capacity and strength. I am here to assist in guiding the process as you face difficult discoveries and learn to embrace the changes.
