I have 30 years of experience in providing mental health services in community mental health clinics, psychiatric facilities and criminal justice facilities.
For the past several years I have focused on providing individual teletherapy sessions to persons who are motivated to make positive changes in their lives.
First session
Your first session will be more structured than ongoing sessions as we will begin with an initial evaluation covering many aspects of your life history, your past and current symptoms and treatment, and your goals for therapy sessions. I'm also interested in learning about your history with past clinicians and what has worked and not worked well for you in the past so that we can collaborate to make your sessions helpful.
Strengths
I'm an open-minded and non-judgmental clinician who is an attentive active listener.
Ideal clients
My therapeutic approach focuses on you and your current specific needs, rather than a specific target clientele or the application of a particular theory or treatment philosophy. I am available to work with persons who may be going through difficult times and require support, understanding and assistance in identifying ways to make the best of each day, regardless of circumstances.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
How you think influences how you will feel. We'll spend some time uncovering the ways that your thinking may be causing negative feelings and work on how you can consciously make positive changes in your thinking.
Supportive
Feeling supported and understood is a critical factor in successful therapy. We'll work on building a strong relationship in which you feel safe to express your thoughts and feelings, knowing that you will not be judged.
