Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session we will have a brief introduction to one another. I will answer any questions you have about me or therapy. We will identify specifically what issue you would like to focus on. Together we will begin to make an individual treatment plan.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I have worked with clients in multiple settings in the community, homeless persons, incarcerated, and inpatient hospitalization. I believe the greatest strength a counselor can possess is the ability to empathize and actively listen to what message or story the client is trying to tell
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I focus on helping clients gain insight into their lives, develop tools and identify coping strategies through the use of evidence based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational interviewing
