I have over 15 years of experience working with children and families. I specialize working with trauma, depression, and PTSD. I also have experience working with clients who are in crisis, providing immediate support and intervention in times of acute emotional distress. Often times current situations are a symptom of underlying past trauma that permeate our daily lives. We will work together to uncover and confront these issues. In this approach, the development of a preferred solution is more important than clarifying and directly addressing the problem.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Working together you will feel welcome and discover that you are in a safe place. I am non-judgmental and care a great deal about the people I work with. We will work together goals that we develop together, concentrating on identifying and changing old patterns and improving communication.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I adhere to a Solution-Focused approach, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Reality Therapy to counseling. This means that rather than focusing solely on the individual’s presenting concern. I explore client strengths and counter-productive cycles of thought and behavior to help the client gain insight into their situation and solutions.
