Do you ever feel like nobody is listening to you? or trying to help you make sense of your struggle? Do you feel that what you are going through makes you feel alone like nobody gets you? Been there...I get it...and I feel you. I will be the first to admit that I don't understand everything but I have enough life experience, to relate to you on some level. I try my best to build our work together on trust, integrity, understanding, and honesty. I work best with individuals who are willing to do the work, the hard work so that you can create an empowered life and improve your quality of life. I focus on issues that include: anxiety, alcohol use/abuse, marijuana use/abuse, depression, psychosis (first episode), life transitioning, and trauma. I work with ages 14 and older, veterans, men and women. I offer group counseling services for substance abuse (alcohol & marijuana), and specialty services for immigrants such as forensic mental health evaluations and adulting courses.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session will be an assessment and/or going over the intake and any other paperwork. The sessions are 45-50 minutes long, with the initial 20 minutes to discuss paperwork and the last 25 minutes we will discuss your concerns, so that you can walk away feeling heard and seen. At the end of the first session, the individual will schedule a follow-up session and will be assigned homework for the following week.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength is speaking with you directly. I treat you with mutual respect. My biggest strength is helping you become comfortable with being uncomfortable. We work through your discomfort together.
