Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we focus on building rapport and creating a safe, supportive space for you. I’ll gather important information to begin the assessment process, review any relevant measures, and explore the reasons you’re seeking therapy. This helps us understand your goals and set a clear path forward for your journey toward growth and well-being.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to combine a nurturing, compassionate approach with straightforward honesty. I focus on identifying your strengths, reframing unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and supporting you in creating meaningful change. My style is warm and supportive, yet practical, helping clients move forward with clarity and confidence.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I’ve been using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for over 15 years, which has helped me understand the connection between my thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT has been a valuable tool for reframing patterns and supporting overall well-being.

Motivational Interviewing

I have been using Motivational Interviewing for the past 15 years to help people uncover their own motivation and confidence to change. It’s a respectful, client-centered approach that works especially well with addiction and other behavior changes.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I’m trained in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, a short-term, goal-oriented approach that helps people build on their strengths and create practical solutions for meaningful change.

I really like the tone of her voice. It was very soothing. It was like I was talking to someone who was actively listening. I look forward to better understanding her approach to my scenario and allow her to guide me with techniques that will help improve my situation. Sometimes I get lost in all the confusion in my head and having someone such as Miss Dearborn to help me slow down listen before reacting we will really be beneficial to my future
