My therapeutic emphasis is a client centered approach with empowerment through exploration of client strengths utilizing solution-focused treatment strategies. I pride myself on providing a casual, no judgment atmosphere for clients where they can be themselves, take control of what they need and accomplish therapeutic goals. I believe you are your own expert in navigating your needs.
My approach provides support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life changes. Treatment plans employ complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.
I enjoy working with adults of all ages and teenagers focusing on anxiety, depression, family stressors, grief and loss utilizing evidence-based treatment modalities in creating a supportive therapeutic environment.
I am open to sharing Psychotherapeutic Reiki, a complementary approach to your therapy that brings systematic attention to the relationship between the body and the mind. Reiki energy treatments work directly on blockages in the human energy field in order to modify conditioning and release negative energy that may be blocking therapeutic progress.
I am also equipped to provide spiritual counseling in terms of philosophical and metaphysical beliefs. With the use of Dialectical Behavioral therapy techniques, I strive to provide a path of education, development, guidance, support and healing.
I hope to work alongside you in this next step of your mental health journey to make it feel rewarding, worthwhile, and effective.
