LPC, 20 years of experience
--- I have experience working with community based mental health agencies, managed care, and private practice. My passion is working with children and families. I believe that the family is an important institution to society, that needs to be preserved. I am sensitive to the clients perspective and I never prescribe or make recommendations that are in direct violation of the client culture, values or beliefs. My specialty areas include: trauma, child abuse, parenting issues , family therapy, coping with loss, play therapy, stress management and life transitions. I approach therapy from a client centered approach, focusing on validating the clients feelings displaying empathy, with a strong emphasis on the client being the expert.
Clients need to have a peace of mind in terms of what to expect. The reasons for coming to therapy and goals are clearly defined. In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Solution Focus, CBT, Client Centered Approach, Play Therapy, Parent based training, Psycho social activities,
Providing supportive validating and reflective listening. Meeting Clients where they need to start. Focusing on solutions not on pathology, looking at Clients strength versus weakness.
