Steps to feeling better includes engaging in a process of self-discovery, learning and growing. Negative patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving are changeable. Some patterns are counter intuitive to living a healthy and happy life. I enjoy guiding clients in their own journey of self-discovery, via identifying barriers and opportunities in reaching personal goals. The therapeutic process is not always a linear path, there are twists and turns. However, there are evidenced-based strategies that can help you. My goal is to present them to you, show you how to use them until one or several provide meaningful results.
My speciality is providing usable skills to adolescents and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, sadness, or having difficulty socially. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Social Thinking, Behavioral Analysis Techniques, and Motivational Interviewing. I've learned that trust, authenticity and a little bit of humor helps.
I have worked in school settings, residential settings, and provided clinical supervision to other clinicians. I make every effort to first understand my client's worldview and what their strengths and challenges are before advising. This is your journey, if you want to learn, grow, and change then contact me.
