What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session with me, we are just going to have a conversation. I look at this as a time for you to get to know me and make sure I'm the right fit to entrust your mental health care needs with. I keep this very conversational, and my goal is to gain a better understanding of who you are and why you're coming into therapy. Ultimately, this is your chance to give me a job interview and see if you feel that I can effectively and efficiently help you through the struggles of your life that you are currently encountering.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength as a provider is my vast experience. Throughout my life, I have been in the military, worked in the corporate world, and have now spent many years assisting people with emotional, psychological, and substance abuse issues. With this experience, I am confident in my abilities to be eclectic and understanding, which in turn creates an empathetic, supportive, and safe environment for you to be able to grow and improve to be the person you want to be.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
By gaining years of experience, I like to work with a variety of individuals. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and couples. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addiction issues, or any other mental health problems, my eclectic approach to therapy will help you not only see results but improve the overall quality of your life.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
The basis of cognitive behavioral therapy is that you have thoughts that equal your feelings and your feelings result in your actions. If we are going to change the way you're acting and feeling we must look at the way you're thinking. During the course of this therapeutic modality we aim to identify cognitive distortions and build coping skills to help alleviate those distortions.
