I am dedicated to providing a safe and comfortable environment for your therapeutic needs.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I aim to establish a foundation for therapeutic engagement by facilitating an exploration of your presenting concerns, identifying specific challenges that have prompted your decision to pursue therapy, and collaboratively establishing therapeutic goals. Subsequent sessions will build upon this foundation, fostering a progressive trajectory in your therapeutic journey. My role is to provide empathetic support and guidance as you navigate this process.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
In the therapeutic process, the client assumes an active role, guiding the direction of their journey. My primary responsibility is to provide the necessary support essential for the attainment of your articulated objectives. Collaboratively addressing both historical and present challenges constitutes our paramount objective. As a compassionate listener my commitment is to provide a supportive environment conducive to client-centered exploration and growth.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I have 15 years of experience utilizing Solution Focused Brief Treatment. Utilization of Solution Focused Treatment is geared towards future-focused, goal-directed, and focuses on solutions, rather than on the problems. It’s helped dozens of clients work towards their desired goals to improve their over all well being.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have 15 years experience utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This method challenges reoccurring thoughts and helps manage anxiety. CBT will help recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
Motivational Interviewing
I have 15 years utilizing Motivational interviewing techniques. This method encourages clients to talk about their need for change and their own reasons for wanting to change. This method helps conversation about change and the commitment to change.
