I believe you already possess everything you need to heal yourself. The missing piece is a trained therapists like me to help guide you by giving insight, asking thought provoking questions, and most importantly, listening and holding the space for you to be vulnerable and grow. I will work with you to identify and work on issues you bring to our sessions. My approach to counseling operates from a strength base approach to help you identify your strengths within yourself and develop self-awareness that will aid you to meet your goals through your active involvement as well as efforts to change your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Sometimes change will be easy and swift, but often it will be slow and deliberate. Regardless of how long it takes, I will be supporting you to make the changes in your life that bring you happiness and joy. Let's go create the Life you desire one step at a time.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together we will start with brief introductions and I'll answer any questions that you have. I will ask you specific challenges that you're currently facing that brought you to counseling, which will be followed by additional questions about your past. Once I have an understanding of you and what challenges you face, we will create your goals for counseling and develop a treatment plan.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize various treatment methods in helping my clients. The particular treatment methods depend on the client and their needs. With that said, my therapeutic approach is eclectic typically blending Gestalt Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Reality Therapy, Mind/Body Therapy, and Dialect Behavioral Therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I've been told by clients again and again that I ask thought provoking questions.
