My mission is to assist a wide variety of clients in working through issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, self esteem issues, and general life stressors in order to allow clients to examine and explore ways in which to live their best lives. My services include working with individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety and stress management, depression, grief counseling, self esteem and assertiveness training, working with children and adolescents struggling with interpersonal stress and behavioral issues. Additionally I offer services for Sex Offender Treatment and Evaluation. If you are in need of assistance regarding trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, self esteem issues, or generally need someone to process life stressors with, please reach out for an appointment today. We can work through these things together.
I once had a client that presented with a significant history of trauma and abuse. This client as a result struggled with their self esteem, setting boundaries, and mood. These struggles held this client back in both relationships and vocational goals. Within a year of therapy, this client managed to find employment, maintained a healthy romantic relationship, set boundaries with friends and family without guilt, and most importantly began to view their self from a lens of compassion and confidence.
The client will experience a warm and empathetic atmosphere that feels casual and conversational while discussing difficult topics. I consider sessions to be a collaborative effort and give the client full autonomy over what they choose for coping strategies. Additionally it is not uncommon to experience a bit of humor in sessions.
The client will begin with a discussion of their presenting problem as well as relevant history. The client and I will then collaborate on goals for therapy as well as discuss treatment modalities and coping strategies that the client is comfortable and interested in exploring.
I believe growth and change is a capability that every human being possesses, however, we often are held back by our own self reservations, esteem, or the hardships that we have experienced in the past. I love witnessing clients find themselves and their confidence in therapy: confidence to take chances, put themselves first, and believe that they are in control of the quality and enjoyment of their lives.
Highlights
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I provide a warm atmosphere and empathetic atmosphere in which clients and I will collaborate to discuss, process, and explore their presenting issue in order to best determine a treatment plan that best suits the client. I believe that while issues discussed cause distress and are serious in nature, a therapy session does not have to feel this way. Client's will leave sessions feeling heard and validated, supported, and confident in their ability to manage their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and interactions with others. This often leads to improvement in mood, self esteem, self efficacy and increases the likelihood of positive outcomes.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize evidence-based therapies, including Psychotherapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy & Cognitive Processing Theory.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strengths include my empathy and compassion demonstrated to clients, my ability to continue educating myself in the world of treatment modalities, as well as my ability to provide a causal and conversational atmosphere in session.
