I have worked in community mental health settings for 18 years. I am skilled with the severely mentally ill population, and I have done significant work with children, adolescents and adults. I have moderate experience with autism and neurodivergence, as well as working with trauma and anxiety in this population.
I take a curious, non judgmental approach to therapy and consultation. What is stressful and overwhelming for one person might not necessarily be for another. I look for what is working for a person and then build from there. I place importance on rapport and affirmation.
Therapy is a process. Part of our intake and assessment is determining where you are in the recovery process, and developing a plan for how to move you forward. I encourage sharing as much as you are comfortable so that we can develop a comprehensive plan for wellness and recovery.
