I am a therapist specializing in mental health, alcohol, and other substance disorders. I have experience with family and couples therapy as well. Additionally, I worked with clients for over 15 years with a wide variety of challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, domestic abuse, and other life challenges. My counseling style is warm and engaging. I have a non-judgmental approach and believe in demonstrating empathy to my clients. My therapeutic approach is Cognitive -Behavioral, Motivational Interviewing and Rational emotive counseling. I will tailor therapy according to your needs. Change is always constant. It takes courage to seek help for a more fulfilling a meaningful life. If you’re ready to take the first step, I am here to support, encourage and empower you. I look forward to working for you.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, I will explain to you what therapy is and is not, and how you can get the most out of therapy. You will receive a warm introduction of myself, skills and experience. When needing assistance, you will have multiple options to communicate with me via phone, text, or email I generally respond within 24 hours or less. I actively listen to your needs so that I can offer the best tools tailored to your specific needs. Most of all you can expect a safe, comforting environment (non-judgmental) and supportive.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use Cognitive behavioral therapy which is a psychotherapy treatment based on the idea that psychological problems are partially due to faulty thinking and learned patterns. It focuses on helping individuals learn better coping methods by challenging their unhealthy or unhelpful behaviors, attitudes, beliefs, thoughts, and emotions. Additionally it can assist with managing anxious thought and feeling, depression, better ways to communication, resolving relationship issues, coping with loss or grief, and learning new techniques of dealing with stress.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength is the ability to empower, help individuals gain insights into their specific problems and provide tools, thought provoking questions. and tools to assist. I enjoy providing a safe non-judgemental environment whick will allow one to feel comfortable expressing themselves.
