I am a licensed professional counselor and have been in practice for more than 10 years. I mainly focus on anxiety, depression, and trauma. I believe that therapy should start with forming a connection between counselor and client, as well as providing and practicing coping skills during the initial session. I offer both in person and virtual therapy sessions, depending on what is best for the client. I provide daytime and evening appointments and work with my clients to the best of my ability to meet their immediate needs.
I aim to address the most pressing issues quickly and provide coping skills and tools to prepare the client for the initial stages of therapy . This allows us to form a connection from the first session. I believe it’s necessary to address the issues and start working on them immediately.
Here at Better Patterns Therapy, I understand the difficulty with reaching out for help and I am here to support you through this journey. I am excited to welcome you to the practice. Thank you for the opportunity and including me on your journey toward a more stable, healthier lifestyle.
