I enjoy working with adults and older adults that are experiencing challenges in their lives.
This is accomplished though providing support while they work through the challenge using evidenced based practice, and medication, as well as talk therapy or both.
First session
our first session, we will start with a brief introduction, and then explore the specific reasons for your visit and the challenges that are bothering you the most. We will brainstorm together and develop a plan of care. This will allow us to work on specific issues and monitor through follow up sessions
Strengths
Having had alot of experience talking to people, I feel i bring a nonjudgemental, empathetic and positive view to approaching challenges that we all face in our lives at one time or another.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with adults who are struggling and need to talk, medication management, or need to learn the tools need to make improvements in their mental health lives, or relationships
Treatment methods
Compassion-Focused
sometimes putting the focus on strengths instead of weakness helps push us forward. Doing this in a compassionate, nonjudgemental empathetic way can allow a patient to feel safe to approach issues, explore the effects on their lives acknowledge them and leave them behind.allowing them to live a more happy and satisfying life.
