Hi there, I'm Aryn. Are you someone that finds yourself in a place of life transition? Feeling anxious or depressed about how your life is changing? Are you facing a divorce, new to being a single parent, just received a new diagnosis for yourself or a family member, graduating school, transitioning to adulthood or making some other big life change? I'm here to help clients facing tough life transitions overcome the barriers they are facing and take the leap into their new and improved lives. Together, we can identify what parts of yourself are struggling and what stressors you are facing in order to become your best self. I use a whole person approach and emphasize the importance of taking care of your body and mind. Whether you are dealing with ongoing anxiety/depression or situational concerns, I am here to help. Reaching out to schedule a therapy appointment is a big step forward and can feel scary! I'm proud of you for taking this first step and would be honored to walk beside you as you move towards healing.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, we will go over the answers you provided in the intake paperwork in more detail. Then spend the rest of the session getting to know each other and further discussing "why therapy now?"
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use motivational interviewing techniques to engage the clients I am working with and to help develop any needed discrepancy between what they are doing and what they say they want. I then use a variety of techniques and theories including CBT, Family systems, trauma and attachment and internal family systems in my work with clients.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I feel like one of my biggest strengths is getting to know my clients and developing a warm and authentic rapport with each of them. I am passionate about working with clients and families who are experiencing multiple stressors or diagnoses at the same time such as mental health needs and disabilities.
