LCMHC, 10 years of experience
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I utilize a variety of theoretical orientations, such as person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and psychodynamic approaches. By this, I mean that I will be genuine and authentic in session while encouraging the same from you, allowing you to direct the session, as I believe that you are the expert in your life. Also, I will help you to challenge your negative self-talk and other cognitive distortions while promoting positive changes through incorporating productive coping strategies and so forth. I believe in expressing empathy, warmth, and genuineness in our sessions to help build trust. One of my ways of demonstrating this is by occasionally incorporating self-disclosure, should I determine that this would be beneficial to the therapeutic process. I do this in order to demonstrate that, not only do I have the education and professional experience to support my practice, but I am also an individual who has my own struggles and believes in transparency in an effort to destigmatize the need for addressing mental well-being. It takes courage to seek therapy and to make positive changes in life. If you are ready for this, I am here for you. I look forward to working with you!
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I am empathetic, patient, and have a good sense of humor.
My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make their goals a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious.
I believe in letting the client lead the session in an effort to promote autonomy and trust. I believe that you are the expert in your life.
