I utilize a positive theoretical orientation which assumes that all individuals possess an innate desire for well-balanced emotional/mental health. I believe a person enters therapy with a strong wish, whether conscious or unconscious, to overcome obstacles and free themselves from constraints that are holding them back. I find that everyone needs a slightly different approach to accomplish these goals, so I adjust in technique for each specific challenge. I truly enjoy the experience of guiding my clients through this process and consider it a privilege to play such an important role in a person's life. “Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you are alive.” ― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
I will spend some time getting to know you and the issues that brought you into treatment. I will use a formal, structured interview, or it may just feel like a more free-flowing conversation.
Theories in counseling are important. However, they are often overrated. I think the therapeutic alliance is much more important than being able to apply theory in practice. While theories in counseling are important, I believe clients benefit most when they have a real connection with their therapist.

After my first session with Jolie, I knew I found the right provider for me. She is open-minded and genuine. I felt cared for and heard from the first minute of talking with her. I look forward to future sessions and making progress with her help!

My first session with Jolie was great! She was very open and very, very easy to talk to. She's very knowledgeable about ADHD and was clear about what we're going to focus on in our next sessions.
