Hello there! I'm Devin. I truly believe therapy shouldn't have to feel like a job interview. It's an opportunity to discover great qualities about yourself in the hopes that you can become more empowered and confident about your abilities than you did before. I strive to assist teenagers/adults that struggle with some of the most difficult challenges they face daily (i.e. depression, anxiety, history of trauma, & stress). We will be able to work collectively to identify skills and techniques that help manage some of the negative emotions that stem from burnout at school/work, relationship/friendship issues, and low self-esteem issues. At the end of the day, I like to provide you the power to dictate which way you want to go with your self-healing. You deserve to feel happy, and you deserve to be able to have control over your life. I would love to start working with you!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I am a person who likes to focus on the person and their background the first session, so I love to inquire more about life, their interests, and their dislikes, in the hopes to establish trust and a relationship. I do collect a lot of background information about the client's history, along with explain a lot about the rules of therapy and guidelines I follow by.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I used a cognitive-behavioral based approach, focusing on using thought reframing techniques to challenge some of the negative thoughts that clients bring into session. I like to incorporate a trauma-informed care approach for those that carry burdens from traumatic pasts as well.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I love to be a listening ear! Most of the client's I serve are not in an environment where there are people that are adequately listening to there problems and concerns, so I intend of giving you the chance to express things that you are not able to express to others. I'm interpersonal and empathetic with my approach, so you can be able to feel comfortable in your own skin and not have to hold anything back!
