In the past, I have worked in an agency setting where I work with adults who are diagnosed with Substance Abuse disorders. Through their journey, I have been able to develop an expertise in co-occurring disorders, including but not limited to depression and anxiety. I am now ready to expand my career to include children who may need assistance with mental health disorders, or maybe just feel like they have trouble fitting in. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I understand the struggles of everyday life - from trying to narrow down and specify just one goal to living through a pandemic while also managing anxiety and stress.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Sessions with me will be driven by client input, and together, we will develop solutions that work for you and your life. Some of the interventions I use include play therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and solution-focused therapy. I also can offer sessions online or in person, whichever best suits you and your needs.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Interventions I typically use the most include DBT, CBT, solution-focused, and at times, play therapy, as well as a variety of styles that might be needed during our sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest areas of expertise are assisting individuals with processing and identifying their feelings. I do not like to tell you how you "should" feel, or even to talk you out of the feelings you are having. Instead, I would rather assist you in processing, identifying, and learning to cope with the feelings you are having.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with all clients with many different concerns. I have found success in working with men, women, children, and adolescents.
