I have experience working with all walks of life and have held an assortment of different roles in the field working with social services, foster care, adoption, and healthcare. These experiences have made me well-rounded when it comes to addressing cultures and beliefs that differ from my own. The first step toward getting better is having the courage to ask for help. Let's meet for a session and get to know one another.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
I believe that anyone who wants to make a meaningful change in their life has the power to do so and I want to be a support to them on that journey.
Ideal clients
I am experienced in Psycho Dynamic, DBT, MATCH, and CBT. Some areas of specialty that I am familiar with are anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction. I offer individual, family, and couples therapy.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize a fair amount of cognitive restructuring, motivational interviewing, and client directed problem solving. While I am happy to provide suggestions, I'm a firm believer that my client's know themselves best and should draw on that understanding to from a resolution with guidance and support.
