I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Michigan and Virginia. I am a certified CADC II in California and Michigan.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Good listening skills, clear communication, an open mind, empathy, and professionalism

My treatment methods

Eclectic

An eclectic therapist seeks to understand each client in all their complexity in order to be successful in helping clients reach their own goals. This involves learning about the multiple facets of each client including their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, relationships, and more.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be an effective treatment for anxiety and other issues, but it's important to consider the following tips for treating clients with CBT techniques: Be a partner: Therapy is most effective when clients are active participants and involved in decision-making. Be open and honest: Be open and honest with your client. Stick to the plan: Stick to your treatment plan, but don't expect immediate results. Do homework: Encourage clients to do their homework between sessions. Use techniques: CBT techniques can help clients prepare for situations that cause anxiety or uncertainty, recognize and change negative thoughts, or reintroduce rewarding behaviors. Some CBT techniques include: Exposure therapy: Gradually confront fears and anxiety-provoking situations with the therapist's support. Cognitive restructuring: Teach clients to recognize and change negative or irrational thoughts and beliefs.
