I work with clients in order to help them to find wellness and balance. People often face difficulties with life's challenges, whether it's a temporary struggle or something that has been a longstanding problem, I strive to empower my clients to find their own inner resources. We all have our unique sources of strength and resiliency to deal with difficulties. My goal is to help guide you to your own strength by listening, engaging genuinely, and providing practical tools that you can use in your everyday life. My specialties include working with individuals who struggle with: anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, addictions issues, couples/marital counseling, work/life balance, personal growth counseling, challenges with aging, trauma and PTSD, and anger management issues. I am trained in Cogntive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Counseling, and am a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC).
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session would be a chance for us to get to know each other, and for me to listen to you first and foremost, about whatever difficulties brought you to counseling, and then for us, together, to begin to develop a plan best suited to your needs.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize Cognitive Behaivorial Counseling, Humanistic Counseling along with some Existential Counseling and Depth Psychology techniques. I have been lucky be enough to have trained under Aaron Beck and Judith Beck but Irving Yalom, Victor Frankl and Carl Jung are also inspirations to me in my work.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength is not only actively listening to a client, but using insight oriented Socratic techiques to help a person look at things in a new way, and try to find a new angle and 'reframe' a challenge they have been struggling with for a while. Sometimes we get stuck in a pattern and need a new perspective to see things in a different light, I try to be that new perspective for a person, not to 'give you the answer', but to help you find new answers, and new perspectives for the challenges that face you in your life.
