Life can be stressful and challenging from time to time. Often we may feel we are not where we want to be in our careers, relationships, or family life. My career has spanned over 15 years with regard to working with clients suffering from both mental illness and substance abuse issues.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is to build rapport and to allow client to realize that I am there for them to address whatever issues that are bringing them into therapy. It's for the client to have a safe space to discuss and process their feelings at their pace. No expectations, only the wish that the client feels comfortable and wants to continue on their journey to self discovery and living the life that they deserve.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use an eclectic approach to therapy. I meet the client where they are at and use the most effective modalities to address the situation. I offer a non-judgmental, supportive environment that encourages healing for all individuals. My treatment approaches includes CBT, Psychodynamic, Solution-Focused, Motivational interviewing and Humanistic approaches. I enjoy engaging with my clients on an honest and empathetic level. I believe that there is no issue too challenging that therapy can not address.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am passionate about my work and very grateful to be in a profession that affords me the ability to both guide and witness an individuals journey toward growth and happiness. I work with individuals, families, and couples, facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship issues, and other emotional challenges.
