In our first session we will spend time for introduction and important information that might have missed during the initial paperwork and hopefully will jump right in to your presenting problem.
I have true diverse experience on my field and you will find my approach warm, caring and welcoming.
I have enjoyed working with "young adults at heart" and clients that share the enthusiasm and motivation to move forward and live a more fulfilling, happier life.
I have utilized this method of treatment for at least the last 16 years mostly to address anxiety and depression and with very good results. At appropriate times we will use CBT during sessions to identify your thoughts, feelings and behavioral patterns and how they influence each other. Then we will use this knowledge to change thinking "errors" which in turn will lessen the intensity of your emotions as to feel less anxious or stressed and more hopeful and motivated to achieve your dreams and goals in life and the ones that you are working in therapy.
Originally 33 years ago as a graduate student, i have chosen and I was fully trained as a person centered therapist (Rogerian) and I still bring this approach into my sessions as I truly believe of my client’s own ability to discover better choices and ignite their own healing. I utilize this method when there is ambivalence in the choices available to you especially if you are dealing with addiction issues. Chemical dependency to alcohol or drugs and process addiction such as gambling, food, and relationships.
