Are you wanting to increase happiness and overall satisfaction with your life? Would you like to work towards gaining control of your thoughts, feelings, and actions? Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-worth, addiction, trauma, or just simply feeling overwhelmed with life, these are goals that you can reach. Through counseling I want to help you take back the control and start living your best life. I take a client centered approach, helping you to feel motivated and capable of making changes. In our sessions we would work to increase your awareness and understanding of the challenges you are facing while developing concrete ways to address them. Asking for help can be a very difficult step, but you are not alone. We all need support at times, and I would be honored to provide that for you. I am currently accepting adult patients for telehealth counseling services.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
We will work together to identify the underlying issues that are contributing to the problem that you would like to address. This often includes exploring your thoughts and emotions and how they relate to each other, and in turn your behaviors. Each person and the way that they experience life is unique, therefore your treatment will be too. The goal is to empower you to develop your own understanding and set of skills so that you can tackle your symptoms and problems head on and in a healthy manner.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy as well as solution focused therapy. I also take a person centered approach recognizing that you are the expert on your own life. I offer a non-judgmental and compassionate approach.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength as a counselor is my empathy towards others and the understanding that each person experiences life differently. I have worked extensively with a variety of mental and emotional complications including addiction, anxiety, depression.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I would like to focus on teens (13+) and adults. I feel my strengths as a therapist are treating substance use, anxiety, depression, and assisting individuals who are dealing with major life changes/relationship issues.
