I have previous experience working with the homeless, veterans, and individuals suffering with substance abuse addiction. My professional experience includes substance abuse recovery, group counseling, individual counseling, couple's counseling, and anger management. I believe that the healing process begins by creating safe environments and promoting healthy relationships. It is my passion to walk beside my clients to assist in their journey. I promote safe, judgement free, and shame free environments.
Our initial session will be focused on creating rapport and gaining information. In the initial session it will be important for you to vet me to insure comfort and confirmation that I am the therapist for you. I will need information from you and you will need information from me. We will spend time gaining background information as well as what we will focus on moving forward in the therapy process.
I have a history of working in various settings with multitude of demographics. I strive to make my clients feel comfortable with me. I feel that a good rapport with clients allows for us to do the work and dig deep in order to work on those concerns most important so that you may live the life you are hoping for.
If you are ready to work on your healing journey your are the perfect client. A majority of my clients experience anxiety, depression, ADHD, dual diagnosis, and life transitions.
I have a lot of experience working with clients utilizing CBT. I know that CBT is not the ideal method to use for everyone in every situation. however, it can be very effective for many clients for various concerns. I assess the client and situation to ensure its possible effectiveness.
