I have over 20 years experience in the mental health field. I started out in education and I enjoyed that field, but I wanted to work more one on one with people. I would say that being human can be hard, but change is possible. I support wellness. The sessions you attend with me are for your total well-being. You can call them your well-being sessions. Your body, mind, and essence Each session you attend is like an investment in yourself. I provide examples, homework, and support resources in video and text. I know you matter and I am invested in helping humans be their best.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The first session is an introduction. It may seem awkward to share with someone you don't know. Just know that your well-being is the priority. I am here to listen with openness and understanding. Together we make steps to make changes in your life, your thinking, and your behavior so things are better, more manageable. I don't expect that you are going to tell me everything, but I hope you tell yourself everything so that you can make changes. Always, a thought can be changed. This first session is also getting to know me and my getting to know you. It is a beginning for a new understanding of who you are and how you function in the world. Together we will explore some of the tools you will acquire and how you will use the tools to help you navigate your life successfully. Some days you may feel on top of the world and others, you feel like you crashed. You can begin to learn how to manage your thought process so that you are experiencing life for living, rather than anxiety or despair.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am a wellness counselor, I am invested in YOUR well-being, not sickness. I have been doing this work for over 25 years and I find that meeting a person as a person first is most important. I have seen people make amazing changes in a short period of time because they are willing to make small changes. I don 't like labels, we are all unique, doing our best with this thing called life. And while a diagnosis is necessary, that is not what you want to focus on. If today, all was well, how would you be? That is better, for you and everyone.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Your motivation will help drive the process. Remember, this is an investment in yourself. If you are wiling to put time into the work...You cannot fail! I know it isn't easy, it takes time and effort, like anything. But you are worth it.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
How you think is linked to how you feel and act, being able to make changes in the thought process can be life changing. You begin to pay close attention to your thought process and how it affects you and those around you. You begin to create a design for how you want your life to be, always starting with you.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
You begin by being aware of your surroundings and how you are affected by them and how you affect other things and people. Breathing techniques. meditation, and sound help to expand your awareness.
Gottman method
Communication between partners is an important part of understanding and connecting in a relationship. Gottman notes how people turn toward each other or turn away, either one, you are creating a reaction in yourself and your partner.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance of what you are experiencing, rather than trying to make changes, can enhance your understanding of yourself and others. Once your are in acceptance, you can begin to explore more, such as how childhood trauma may be affecting you and your behavior.
EMDR
Eye movement might seem strange, but it seems to help the body and mind work through trauma in a manner that is safe and effective. You don't need to understand it, you just need to allow yourself to experience it, so that you can re-configure the trauma and reprogram the past.
