I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Indiana and received my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have been a counselor for 9 years, with 5 years of experience working in community mental health and I also worked at a private practice. I work with individuals who struggle with issues such as anxiety, depression, bipolar, and trauma. I also deal with faith based related issues and spirituality. I collaboratively work with clients to set and achieve their goals. I am passionate to help those who are hurting, those who seek healing, and those who desire to change. I also offer phone sessions if you are not comfortable with video.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients elaborate on background information for first session. We discuss symptoms and stressors and begin to identify problem areas. After determining the most important areas of struggle, we begin developing and implementing goal setting on the journey of the change and healing process.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with clients, which is an effective treatment modality that research shows is effective for various issues and mental health problems. In addition, using Solution-Focused Therapy is also effective for those who desire to achiee success over the course of a brief time period.
