I have done a lot of work with adolescents and adults who struggle with addictions. I am passionate about mens issues, but I have helped men and women with trauma.
I am passionate about mens issues, but I have helped men and women with trauma.
I love to help people on their path to wellness, realizing everyone moves at their own pace.
First session
Its our first session- what else can we do but get to know each other? I want to understand your story and help you chart your own path toward restoration. We will develop some goals over the first few sessions. My goal is not to have in counseling for a long time- you have a life! Go out and live it!
Strengths
Having worked in a hospital setting I have seen people in their worst moments. The thing is- those moments don't last and there is a better path forward. I am easy going and I love to use humor in sessions. I strive to be flexible.
Ideal clients
I love working with anyone who is seeking to improve their well-being. Depression and anxiety are on the rise and I can help folks reach the root of problem and develop healthy coping skills. Adolescents often struggle with identity issues as they transition into adulthood, this is a great time to start counseling that can set them up for lifelong skills to maintain mental health wellness.
Treatment methods
Interpersonal
Counseling is interpersonal, the counselor and the individual engage in an interpersonal dynamic from the first introduction.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is used to help individuals identify their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and ways each can be changed to better serve the individuals to strive for wellness
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I view all individuals with unconditional positive regard, there is no judgement.
Christian Counseling
I am Christian and I am comfortable talking about issues of faith and issues within a church setting.
Group Therapy
Groups are a great way to find community and grow as a person. I have led groups for a number of years.
