navigating various goals that intertwine both personal and professional development. I am passionate about helping others "figure it out" and try to make sense of the world around them in a more optimistic way. Note: If by chance you are interested in working with me but might need to request other days and times we can do a consultation to explore options.
First session
Clients can expect to have some casual, yet meaningful, dialog to ease into the process as we get better acquainted. Presuming we have had a consultation first, we would recap and confirm key information from that dialog. We would further clarify and establish what the needs and preferences are as we proceed to work towards the desired goal(s). This discovery would include desired homework style (if any at all?) and preferred approaches for engagement and learning new strategies (audio, visual, etc.).
Strengths
With over 20 years of working with various populations and needs, I am committed to understanding you as an individual with your own unique life experiences. You will most likely be put at ease with the idea of tackling difficult subjects, even if you are hesitant or shy. With some dedicated effort, clients typically have the opportunity to move forward with more clarity and optimism, along with better coping strategies and approaches. If you're ready, let's goooo!!!!
Ideal clients
Young or seasoned adults who are navigating decisions, life changes, personal and professional situations, as well as emotional and mindset changes. Tired of the way things are feeling or going? Let's expand your toolkit and work together to move to a space where you know you can win! See differently. Move differently. Be different! Show up better for yourself and hopefully for others.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT has been extensively used to explore and raise awareness to thought patterns that influence emotions, behaviors and responses to life situations. CBT approaches bring clarity and establishes coping skills to experience improved responses, both intellectually and emotionally.
Faith based therapy
Because our faith can be an integral part of our lives and typically influences our beliefs, thoughts, and way of life, this approach is respectfully infused according to the needs of the client.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
SFBT is a highly used approach that has been an extensive part of my work, particularly with college students who are often navigating a number of complex situations that need resolution in a short period of time.
