First session
Our initial consultation will be devoted to cultivating mutual recognition and establishing the specific objectives you desire to realize during our sessions together.
Strengths
My approach is characterized by candor and integrity. I subscribe to the belief that truthfulness enables freedom, and I am prepared to offer assistance in whatever capacity may be required. We will jointly investigate the matters at hand and pursue the development of optimal resolutions to your challenges.
Ideal clients
The clients that respond best with my style are adults who desire change, have a modicum of accountability with regard to their behaviors, and are able to learn about emotions and feelings. My education and professional experience has mainly been with adults centered around attachment theory, drug and alcohol addictions, and anxiety. My professional experience includes veterans, inmates, offenders, probationers, and adults with serious drug and alcohol addictions.
Treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I am genuine and transparent. My sessions are typically a non-directive, humanistic approach that emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and the client’s self-directed growth.
Attachment-based
Attachment-based therapy is a therapeutic approach that helps individuals heal from early attachment disruptions and build secure, healthy relationships. Identifying how childhood experiences with caregivers affect present relationships and emotional responses.
