First session
I am very detailed oriented. I feel the history is important to know in order to make sure I can best assist you rather with me or with someone else. I gather all the small details that make you .. you.. for the assessments. I am just needing the facts for the initial assessment no processing. We will start to get to know each other and build a rapport in the follow up sessions. I let you lead the sessions using person center therapy to make sure we cover what you need to cover each session with me.
Strengths
I am "seasoned" therapist been doing what I love for almost 20 years. I am a straightforward therapist. I do not sugar coat things. I am real. I am human too. Most love me and return because I am real with you in therapy. I also know when to set and hold space with you. I am your biggest fan. I am your safe place. I am trained in a variety of therapy models including trauma. I lean more to holistic type of work. I am your Christian hippie therapist if there ever was such a person. I am here to guide, push, and encourage you to be the best version of yourself.

Treatment methods
Integrative
I use an integrative approach pulling in different therapy theories and techniques. I start with person center where you as the client get to lead our sessions. I then mainly use CBT (not the worksheets but verbally) to assist with reframing those negative thoughts and doubts. I finally pull in other theories as well as needed.
