What do you hope would be better about yourself, about your life, about your marriage, about your family? This is my chief focus as a therapist. I get to the heart of what you really want and hope for in the first session, beginning with the end in mind. I believe hope is an essential mechanism for change in human beings. Hope drives us to accomplish the greatest feats in our lives.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session I spend the first five minutes reviewing the "ground rules of therapy." These are a list of five things I share with everyone the first time I meet with them. After, I offer a chance for the client to ask any initial questions they might have about myself or the services I offer or therapy in general. From there, we spend the rest of the session discussing why you are here and what you hope to get out of therapy.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I specialize in Solution Focused Therapy, a very positive and "straight to the point" approach when it comes to you getting what you want out of the therapeutic process.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have assisted people in striving for hope during my times in ministry, youth work, crisis response and in the counseling setting. I work with individuals, couples and families. I especially enjoy helping couples get back to having a hopeful marriage.
