I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I have over 35 years of experience in the field of Mental Health. My experience includes working with individuals who deal with anxiety and depression, serious mental illness, trauma, as well as behavioral weight management. I have worked in behavioral health research, outpatient clinical services as well a program management and leadership. I am trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.
During our first session we will take some time to get to know each other, identify some goals and answers any questions you may have.
I am respectful regarding the support of individual goals and active listening. I tailor the therapeutic modality to provide interventions that may work best for the client. For example, some individuals find worksheets, reading and homework helpful, while others prefer to do the work within the session.
Acceptance and Commitment therapy is an effective therapy model that includes some aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy. it's solution focused and he helpful with managing anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction. I have been trained in this model as well as trained in CBT, DPB skills coaching and motivational interviewing.
