What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I specialize in helping build self esteem, work through depression and anxiety, as well as set realistic goals to help you feel accomplished. During the first session, I focus on building a rapport that allows you to feel comfortable with opening up to allow me to assist in your needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I often use Person Centered Therapy to start where you are in terms of current life stressors in order to better assist in your immediate needs, before focusing on historical issues. I use Strengths Based Perspective to help you look at your accomplishments as a tool to reach success. Working with families, couples, and individuals reach their goals.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Using CBT to complete a thorough assessment of the client's concerns, identifying specific thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are problematic. While I work with client's to collaboratively set clear, achievable goals for therapy. Utilize psychoeducation to educate the client about the basic principles of CBT, explaining how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. Guide the client in challenging their negative thoughts and beliefs by examining evidence for and against them. Help them develop more balanced and realistic perspectives. And so much more.
Interpersonal
I work with my client's to use structured psychotherapy to focus on resolving interpersonal problems and improving interpersonal functioning.
Strength-Based
I focus on identifying and building upon a client's strengths, resources, and positive qualities rather than solely focusing on deficits or problems. Continuing to encourage and empower them through life obstacles.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Introduce mindfulness practices to my client, emphasizing the importance of present-moment awareness, non-judgmental observation, and acceptance of thoughts and emotions. Educating clients on how to use mindfulness exercises such as mindful breathing, body scans, and grounding techniques to help the client develop self-awareness and regulate their emotions. Teach the client distress tolerance skills to help them cope with crisis situations and overwhelming emotions without resorting to impulsive or destructive behaviors.
Couples Counseling
Continue to work with couples to reach goals they want to reach as a unit learning to work together rather than apart.
