I work with children and adults providing services to individuals, couples and families. My clients express a significant impact on their lives when working with me.
First session
In our first session, we will have introductions and get into the specifics of what is going on and use that information to set a pace for direction and expectations.
Strengths
Having worked with clients for 14+ years, I have developed the ability to (1) identify root causes of issues causing challenges (2) identify strengths often times not recognized or sometimes blurred by current circumstances (3) bring a sense of peace and comfort during some extremely difficult situations.
Treatment methods
Motivational Interviewing
I utilize Motivational Interviewing (MI) as a collaborative tool to help you explore mixed feelings and ambivalence about change. We work strictly at your pace, exploring your personal goals without any pressure or judgment.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that impact your mood. This is an active, practical resource we can draw from whenever you feel stuck and want concrete strategies for daily life.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
My foundational approach is Person-Centered, meaning our therapy is always guided by your unique needs, values, and autonomy. I provide a deeply compassionate, non-judgmental space where you lead the direction of our sessions.
Faith-based therapy
For clients who desire it, I am glad to integrate faith-based perspectives into our work together, however, this is entirely optional and always guided by your direction and comfort level.
Psychodynamic
I incorporate Psychodynamic Therapy for clients who want to explore how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape their current relationships. We only dive into these deeper roots if and when you feel ready to explore them.
