Frequently rebooked
Hello, I have been a therapist for about 14 years and have enjoyed working in a variety of settings, including a residential treatment settings for substance use disorders, an outpatient program for substance use and mental health co-occurring disorders, and also in private practice to address general concerns that may arise. I have also worked as a community provider, focusing on concerns related to parenting, family conflicts, separations, and domestic violence.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In the first session, I like to hear from you and get to know you to start understanding what brought you to see me. I am also open to sharing more about me if and when that is something that interests you.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I feel that my strengths include listening, being willing to give and take feedback and also to help identify solutions and future goals.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I enjoy working with clients who are open to change, even if you currently feel stuck. I appreciate that it can take time to build trust and connection, but I try to provide an open and nonjudgmental space to do so. I see my primary role as supportive, thought-provoking, and encouraging.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have worked with many clients to better understand the process between our thoughts, emotions, and actions. It is important to not only identify your emotions but also to understand how they might impact you in your daily life and interactions with others. Learning to identify our thought processes is equally important, as we can get stuck in negative thoughts that can prevent growth, whereas addressing these can create space for change, growth, and resilience.
Motivational Interviewing
I appreciate Motivational Interviewing, as this helps you to identify where you may be motivated or still considering change. This technique allows us to recognize any areas where you may feel stuck or not yet ready for change and what could help make that happen when the time is right.
