What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our sessions, you can expect a space where your thoughts, emotions, and experiences are met with empathy and understanding. The journey involves self-discovery, enhanced self-awareness, and the development of coping strategies. Through collaborative exploration, you will gain valuable insights into your challenges, discover strengths, and cultivate resilience. Ultimately, I aim to empower individuals, providing them with the tools to navigate life's complexities, improve relationships, and foster positive personal growth. Each session is a step toward greater well-being and a more fulfilling life Remember that the first session is primarily an introduction, building trust and a strong therapeutic alliance takes time. Be open and honest about your experiences and expectations, and feel free to communicate any concerns or questions you may have about the therapeutic process.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist, I tailor treatment to client needs and use the most effective, research-based techniques from a variety of treatments including cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, motivational interviewing, strengths-based, behavioral therapy, internal family systems and experiential therapy. My training has ranged from working in community settings, hospitals, teaching social work based college courses, inpatient behavioral health and long-term care facilities. I specialize in mental health therapy tailored for adults, focusing on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, a history of trauma and life transitions. Please note that my practice does not address substance use disorders, facilitate couples/family counseling or work with children. If you're seeking support for concerns within my expertise, I am here to help you navigate and enhance your mental well-being in a compassionate and collaborative therapeutic environment.
