I have experience working with all ages, children to late adulthood. I have worked with co-occurring substance use disorders, medical ailments, and personality disorders. I specialize in relationship issues, women's health issues, adjustment and transitional stressors, and adolescents/young adults.
Person-centered, warm and empathetic, unconditional positive regard, working with the client to assess strengths/weaknesses, protective/risk factors, task-oriented or solution-focused, to identify goals and objectives for success. I am a particularly humorous person and love to incorporate humor into my sessions for a more relaxed and inviting environment. I use an integration of multiple therapy modalities, in conjunction with the client's input.
Therapy will allow the client to view their stressors in a more manageable, less overwhelming, solution-based orientation. We will identify problem areas of focus, create goals and objectives for managing these stressors, and will have the client be an active participant in their treatment needs. They will feel validated and supported in sessions with me.
