I have experience working with multiple populations and simply wish to help others heal.
First session
In our first session we will begin with introductions and the client sharing the specific problem areas they want to address. We will assess for any safety concerns and begin laying out a treatment plan that makes the client feel secure in their decision to seek treatment.
Strengths
I have found over the years that being myself and encouraging the client to do the same, makes for the best road to rapport building and healthy communication that is clear for all. I love using humor and art to help clients feel at ease.
Ideal clients
I am best positioned to serve those that want change in their lives and are ready to step out of their comfort zone to bring the change they need. I work best with those that are willing to feel their emotions and be fair to themselves in life matters. Finally, I work well with those that are willing to work on setting goals for themselves and for me as a therapist so we take accountability together.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use this treatment method to assist clients with self-control training, community reinforcement, contingency management, behavioral contracting, and social skills training.
Couples Counseling
I will assist couples in moving away from blaming and shaming, focusing more on communication and connectivity.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I will use this form of treatment to emphasize learning and strengthen skills like emotional regulation, mindfulness, stimulus control and habit prevention.
Family Therapy
This form of treatment will be used to improve familial relationships, strengthen parenting skills and reduce stress within the home.
Grief Therapy
This treatment method will facilitate mourning and assist in reengaging the world. This will be accomplished by eliminating social isolation and refocusing on relationships and interests.
