In our initial visit, I will invite you to share your story. Every story is worth telling! I believe your time is important and you should feel like I am a valuable member of your team. Visit number one will be about getting to know each other. Following visits will give us the opportunity to set some goals for what you hope to accomplish. Let's get started!
My strength is establishing rapport and partnering with clients as they navigate their way through difficult situations.
I believe that every person's story matters and deserves to be heard. Identifying your strengthes is a priority. Together we will use a solution-based approach to empower you towards your desired change
It is not uncommon for people to get stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts. CBT helps people move forward out of times when feeling depressed or anxious and to reframe their thoughts in a more positive
Counseling is not about a therapist imposing their belief system on a client but about listening and asking questions in a way that helps someone find their own motivation and desire for change. Motivational interviewing supports my philosphy and strengths-based approach
Every person has the capacity to change. What we focus on is what will grow. A strengths-based approach helps transition out of a victim mentality towards an understanding of resilience and resourcefulness.
