I have 15 years experience in the mental health field with nine years of case management and five years in group therapy. I obtained a bachelors of science from Purdue University and masters in social work at Simmons University. My ideal client would be someone seeking to manage anxiety symptoms, depression, life changes from addiction and negative thought patterns.
My approach to therapy is to provide you with a safe supportive environment in order to share your needs. I am very interactive, almost conversational style. I have often said that I want to be your cheerleader, to be on your side through this journey.
In our first session, I think it is important to get to know each other, to see if we fit. Identifying treatment goals, identifying things that have worked and haven’t worked in the past, creating a safety/relapse prevention plan and gathering other information that you feel I need to know in order to help you best.
