I use evidence-based interventions for seniors, adults, teens, that transfer well in virtual therapy. My approach will have focus, structure, and measurement of progress.
First session
In our first session, we will have introductions, what you can expect from therapy and discuss background, specific challenges you’re facing and help develop a plan for future visits. But mostly importantly congratulate you for taking the first step of wanting change. Ongoing sessions will help you identify where you want to be, and working with you on specific approach to get there.
Strengths
I believe in meeting my client where they are. I believe therapy should be a judgement free environment where we build a relationship that affiliates growth. Asking for help can be difficult, but I am committed to walking with you on your journey.
Ideal clients
I would love to work with clients who are navigating life transitions, feeling overwhelmed by day-to-day challenges, or struggling to feel like themselves again. I enjoy supporting individuals who are open to growth, healing, and meaningful change, even if they are unsure where to start. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space to help clients move forward towards their goals
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been using CBT throughout my practice as Clinical Social Worker. CBT helps identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and replace with more realistic thoughts.
Motivational Interviewing
Trained by Our Lady of the Lake University. I use motivational interviewing to enhance individuals motivation to change
Strength-Based
During my social work career, I’ve used Strength Based to help clients recognize and utilize their strengths, skills and resources rather than focusing on the problem.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Completed certified training with PESI. I integrate into practice, especially when working with clients who struggle with emotional regulation, interpersonal conflict, impulsivity, or intense mood swings
