Stuck in a rut in life? Feel like you are going through the motions every day or experiencing anxiety that is controlling your life? I help treat conditions such as depression, panic attacks, anxiety, adjustment disorder, relationship conflict, burnout, poor self-esteem. Throughout counseling you will have a safe, confidential, non-judgmental place to talk where you will learn tools, skills that can help you be in a better place in your life. It takes courage to seek help taking the first step and I want to be there to support you through your journey toward reaching your goals. Throughout counseling I use evidence-based counseling interventions to help promote positive change in your life one step at a time.
The first session will be mostly information gathering in the initial assessment phase. At the end of the first session goals for counseling will be developed. The follow-up sessions will be focused on evidence-based interventions to help reach goals that have been developed. Throughout counseling services goals will be reviewed and progress towards them discussed, identified. Also, changes to counseling goals will be reviewed and updated as needed.
Counseling sessions will provide solid techniques, tools to use to help reach goals. There is not a one-size-fits all for everything and I am proactive in tailoring, helping the client discover what works specifically for them within the scope of being evidence-based.
