First session
During our first session we can discuss what your goals are for your areas of concern. We can work together as I assist you in developing a plan of action and action steps for achieving those goals and focusing on your “whole” picture, therefore allowing you to positively progress in the areas of concern to you.
Strengths
I feel that I am good at listening, breaking things down, meeting the client where they are and then building them up/ motivating them along the way.
Ideal clients
I feel that clients who choose to be motivated and who truly want to change their areas of concern in their life and find healing are those I am best positioned to serve.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I find that CBT and SFBT allow the client to lead their session and feel more in control of their goals for their best outcome. The therapist is there to assist the client in navigation into and through their emotions and blocks that come up. They also have an accountability partner built in.
