I offer sliding scale services with limited appointments available on weekends. I have practiced in various settings over the years including community mental health clinics, outpatient and inpatient. My job is to be a guide during your therapeutic journey, help you clarify your goals and suggest various techniques to try. The journey can take time and is different for everyone.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During the first session, I will complete a BioPsychoSocial assessment, review treatment modalities, and you will determine the goals you want to accomplish.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I could compare my strengths to a magic wand but I never do. I will do my best to guide you through your therapeutic journey.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Adults 21-50 seeking low cost/sliding scale services where appointments are available in the evenings.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

This approach focuses on what you say about yourself, how thoughts affect your behaviors, and behavioral change. This type of intervention is popular and well researched, but it may or may not work for you. I may utilize CBT and determine if this approach works for you.

Motivational Interviewing

This approach is a collaborative conversation style for strengthening a person's motivation and commitment to change. This type of intervention was primarily used to address substance use issues but is also used in conjunction with other treatment methods. I may utilize MI and determine if this approach works for you.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

The approach can benefit people who seek to gain more self-confidence, a stronger sense of identity or authenticity, greater success in establishing interpersonal relationships, and more trust in their own decisions. I may utilize this approach and determine if this approach works for you.

Trauma Informed Care

This intervention approach focuses on safety, promoting healthy relationships, and teaching self-management and coping skills. I may utilize TIC based on your history and determine if this approach works for you.
