relationships with their own parents, and those living with chronic illness who are experiencing depression or anxiety.
First session
During initial sessions, I will listen to you about what you want to improve on and we will work collaboratively to cultivate a plan to address your life concerns and get your life back. I will listen to your personal story, find out what has worked for you in the past and what hasn't. We will work together building upon your own strengths to find new skills that will help you cope.
Strengths
i find it most helpful to be a great listener and nonjudgmental. I believe you have your own unique story that has made you who you are, learning to think differently about our own story can help lead to feeling different with positive actions to follow.
Ideal clients
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by past or present life events, parenting, emotionally stuck in your relationship with a loved one or worn down by the daily demands of a health condition, you don’t have to go through it alone. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in creating a safe space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported with Cognitive Behavioral, Mindfulness, and Acceptance and Behavioral Therapy techniques.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a well known effective treatment method. I have used this with success with many clients.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I have used acceptance and commitment methods successfully with clients who experience chronic illness.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
This is a treatment method used frequently when a client problem is very specific and solution can be identified easily.
Supportive
This is a type of approach focuses on your strengths and resources that you have now and build on those when working on change.
