What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, complete an intake to get a better clinical picture of you, and identify your goals for counseling.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have completed extensive trainings in different therapeutic models to include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and solution focus care. In my practice, I tend to use different treatment models tailor to your needs to help improve your overall health and functioning.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I love working with clients that are ready and willing to do the work needed to make changes in their lives. They often feel stuck in life, overwhelmed with their problems, and need better tools to cope.
