What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I seek to help you make peace with your thoughts, through counseling, by providing a safe and healing space to work through life's difficulties. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I work with you to increase self-awareness, gain new perspectives, decrease symptoms, and increase personal strengths, so that you can have a more meaningful life experience. I believe individuals need to be understood as a whole, and assist you with the exploration of situations that impact your overall wellness. I have an interactive approach, and believe in working in partnership with you, utilizing your strengths to help you sort out your challenges and achieve your goals.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I am a person-centered therapist, and utilize a blend of CBT, Gestalt therapy, motivational interviewing, DBT, solution-focused therapy, and psycho-education.
