I am always more than happy to take on new clients and help them achieve their desired goals in life.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and then dive into specific challenges you may be facing. Usually I find clients have a lot they have been holding in and trying to manage on their own so we’ll try to get right in there and explore what’s brought them to therapy. I’ll also be gathering important background information of course! This will help me make a tailored plan for us to work on in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
Having worked in the field for over 15 years I believe my greatest strength is my ability to connect with clients and work together on building a relationship where I am able to point out and challenge my clients to guide their growth and help them reach their desired potential. My clients describe me as warm, thoughtful, dedicated, relatable and engaged.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with individuals who are motivated for change. My clients are eager to improve but don't have the adequate tools to reach their goals. The clients I typically treat come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their life choices including their relationships and unhealthy habits.
Treatment methods
Motivational Interviewing
I use motivational interviewing to enhance the client's motivation and directing the conversation to focus on the client's strengths.
Daialectical Behavior (DBT)
This method is used to help the client understand and accept difficult emotions.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Over 15 years experience working with clients on challenging their cognitive distortions and overcome negative and unhealthy thinking patterns.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
We work together to help you stay focused on the present moment and accept thoughts and feelings without judgment.
