I am an LPC in Virginia and LMHC-S in Florida my background in practice consists of treating adolescents, families, children in at risk populations and treating adults with depression and anxiety. I take a holistic approach to counseling and meet the client where they are at. I include CBT and solution-focused techniques in order to assist clients dealing with a variety of issues. I also have a background in TF-CBT informed therapy and utilize this as needed.
I want to create an environment where we can work together. In our first session we go over what led you to therapy, what your goals are, and expectations for our work together. I practice from a client-centered approach integrating CBT techniques, solution focused and utilize other techniques as needed. Through these approaches we target areas where you may feel stuck and process these in sessions. I believe that communication is a key part between clinician and client for progress.
Clients can expect to be treated with respect, feel that they the key to resolving difficulties and that this is a collaborative effort. Client will feel empowered when they are able to realize that they are the ones creating the changes they want to see while working collaboratively with me. The environment in sessions if of non-judgment, safety and security.
