Life can be hard at times and trying to figure out how to deal with difficult situations can become overwhelming. During difficult times I believe everyone can benefit from one-on-one support. You have already taken the first step in overcoming these difficult situations by looking for someone to talk to, so congratulations! I would like to take time to listen to you and help you to explore what is really creating a struggle for you. During our sessions, I will provide you with a welcoming, safe, and respectful environment where we can process and increase control of your feelings, thoughts and behaviors. I look forward to meeting and working with you so you can reclaim living your life to the fullest.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My goal is to ensure you receive a positive therapy experience each time we meet. During our first session together, we will explore the reason you are seeking counseling and start establishing goals that will help you to obtain the change you desire. My goal for additional sessions is that you will feel safe, supported, and empowered to continue to make positive changes to achieve your goals.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I believe that each individual is unique and it's important to find a treatment method or combination of methods that will work for that individual. I like to utilize the following treatment methods in individual sessions with clients: Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strength-Based, and Person-Centered.
