What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My hopes are to create an atmosphere that is comfortable and accepting and develop with my clients a collaborative therapeutic relationship with the goal of helping each individual to reach the goals they need to reach in order to move forward in a healthy way in their lives.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My primary goal is to come alongside the client and assist in managing issues that can cause one to feel held in a difficult state and unable to make changes, overwhelmed or paralyzed. I believe that by helping clients to discover new ways of coping, assists to move them toward a more effective and rewarding life. I believe that therapy should be tailored to fit the needs of the individual so my approach is ecletic but primarily use cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, trauma and solution focused therapies and techniques among • other tools to develop an integrative approach that is tailored to each client individually. • My areas of focus are but not limited to life transitions, stress, anxiety/panic, depression, work and school anxiety, obsessive thinking, grief as well as career, transitions, academic and life coaching. • I enjoy empowering people to develop new behaviors, cognitions and skills that will lead to an enhanced lifestyle and the ability to handle future challenges. I look forward to working with you. I enjoy people of all backgrounds and consider it a privilege to share in each client's journey. My goal is to help my clients develop insight, create meaning, and establish concrete tools that can be used long after our work has been completed. I do this by creating a positive and supportive environment that allows for vulnerability and growth. I work solely with adults 18 and over, and I look forward to meeting you!
