About
As a long-term provider of mental health, I feel that therapy is very much like coaching. Together we can affect change using the tenets of CBT. I like to work in a brief, short-term and goal-centered approach. Come with an open mind and let us talk about making minor adjustments that can lead to long term changes.
Using brief client-center CBT and some humor, my work in anxiety and overall trauma recovery seems to be efficient.
My mantra is -- "How can I help?" And if it sounds like a "Zen" like approach to counseling- maybe it is. Feel free to contact me with questions. I also work with athletes on any level to achieve peak performance.
First session
Our first session is always the most stilted in that I must get some general background information. Of course, we will get goals established and some homework might be assigned. After that the session will be more natural as I get to know your world. But I believe is a brief and efficient approach. Summer is a great time to start
Strengths
Using brief client-center CBT and some humor, my work in anxiety and overall trauma recovery seems to be efficient. I feel that my clients experience empowerment very quickly and they feel more positivity. Again, feel free to ask a question- I enjoy outreach and helping people get to a provider they are comfortable with seeing.
Ideal clients
At this point in my career, I have some limited morning hours, and I would like to help people if they have that availability. I like to work fast but that is guided by the client's comfort level. I have had tremendous success in the world of anxiety management. I have also been in private practice in one form or another for over 30 years, I have helped before! Feel free to ask questions or send a message- maybe we can find time to chat
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
With CBT as a guiding principle, we are able to look at thoughts and feelings very much like behaviors. We can alter and change our responses. These ideas can be applied to areas like anxiety, depression and grief.
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy
Responsible assertive communication can help in the dynamics and issues all couples face.
Grief Therapy
The sensitivity needed requires training and experience. For many people in these troubled times, it is difficult to find the right match. FEEL FREE TO ASK A QUESTION FIRST-- I will respond
