What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session with me, you can expect a welcoming and confidential environment where we’ll focus on understanding your unique concerns and goals. I will begin by asking questions to gather information about your current challenges, history, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. We’ll discuss the treatment process, including any specific approaches or techniques that might be used, and outline the goals for our work together. My aim is to ensure you feel comfortable, heard, and supported as we begin this journey towards your personal growth and well-being.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a licensed therapist, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) because it effectively addresses the way our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. CBT helps us identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, which can lead to improved emotional well-being and more constructive behaviors. By setting specific goals and using practical techniques, we can work together to make meaningful changes and develop skills to manage challenges more effectively. This structured approach allows us to focus on your unique needs and track progress toward achieving your goals.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
As a licensed therapist, I use Person-Centered Therapy because it emphasizes creating a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you feel truly heard and valued. This approach fosters a strong therapeutic alliance, allowing you to explore your thoughts and feelings openly. By focusing on your own self-discovery and growth, Person-Centered Therapy helps you build self-awareness, confidence, and a sense of empowerment. It’s about working together at your own pace to find solutions and personal strengths that can lead to positive change.
Christian Counseling
In Christian counseling, I integrate faith-based principles with therapeutic techniques to support your emotional and spiritual well-being. This approach can help you explore how your beliefs and values influence your experiences and guide you toward healing and growth. By incorporating prayer, scripture, and Christian teachings, we can address your concerns in a way that aligns with your faith, offering you comfort and strength as you navigate challenges. This can create a holistic treatment experience that respects and integrates your spiritual perspective into your overall well-being.
