I provide a warm atmosphere where you can talk about what’s on your mind; feel heard, accepted, and if you're ready, empowered to begin the next steps toward the changes you desire. We will discuss your goals during the first visit and together come up with a plan of action to make them happen. Many clients by this stage have been struggling for a long time. They can’t even imagine that they could be free of their troubling symptoms. While I can’t give you a guarantee, most clients begin to feel better in as few as 10-15 sessions, many sooner. Please reach out for any questions or information. I look forward to serving you in your endeavors.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
At our first session, you’ll have a chance to tell me all about the challenges that bring you into therapy, when it began and how it has impacted your life. We will do a thorough history and then make a preliminary plan for change with goals that are attainable based on your own unique strengths.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Helping people realize their unique strengths, value, and potential. People I have worked with tend to see me as direct, encouraging, and compassionate. I listen carefully to what clients have to say so together we can recognize the roots of the problem.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Clients who are experiencing feelings of anxiety and depression tend to find the way I work very helpful. I serve individuals, adult and senior, who are struggling to cope with life’s challenges.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT quickly pinpoints what is getting in the way with our closest relationships, our ability to thrive at work, our coping with what we're facing in life. We use hypnosis to make CBT more effective because it helps different areas of your brain work together to help you achieve your goals.
Hypnotherapy
Many find that hypnotherapy can break through barriers when the same problem keeps cropping up. We take a deeper dive to the very root of the problem. To learn more, see my website: https://anewleafcounseling.mystrikingly.com/
