MY EXPERIENCE HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND YOU- I have thousands of hours providing counseling services and support. My years of experience have allowed me to help others focus on what is important in life.
I believe counseling is an effective wayto learn new behaviors, new thought processes, and new ways to be successful in personal and professional settings.
I have worked in various counseling agencies and in private practice. I have seen success in my counseling practice with individuals, families and couples. Helping people in the process of counseling and the opportunity to help people change their lives is very rewarding to me. I think of myself not just as a counselor, but a coach and mentor that will help keep you accountable. I look forward to working with you on this journey.
First session
It is important to assess the client's circumstances and determine what the client is desiring to gain from the sessions. It is important for me to help the client get a better understanding about how I work and how I can benefit the client's circumstances.
Strengths
EXPLORATION FOR UNDERSTANDING- Therapy can be about exploration. I help people understand themselves and their situations better. It is very powerful to connect the dots and examine how life experiences have shaped us. Sometimes it is not always easy to see how different influences and experiences have shaped our behavior and outlook but this is what therapy can assist us to do. STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS- Therapy can also be about training. Strategies and techniques can be applied to help people alter anxiety, depression, a lack of motivation, emotional problems, and even relationship problems. You can learn effective strategies to reset your life.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
If you change your thoughts you can then change your behavior. This connection is powerful. We expect what we think. Unfortunately, our environments become a place to live out fears, worries, and anxieties. This can be changed and I can show you how.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
There is no problem that does not have a solution. If the problem itself cannot be changed then how you think and understand the problem can be changed. We can explore how to do this so you can make life improvements you deserve.
