I am down to earth, approachable and nonjudgmental. I obtained my Masters in Counseling from the University of Memphis. I have over 20 years of experience working with both adults and children. My experience includes addiction, prison rehabilitation and foster care populations. Within those I treated depression anxiety and bipolar disorder. I am also trauma trained.
I use cognitive behavioral techniques meaning we will spend time looking at how your thoughts inform your behavior and mood. I am also person centered and holistic. We look at how all aspects of your life affect you and I do it with unconditional positive regard and empowerment.
During the first session I will ask 'What brings you to treatment/what would you like to work on? I will learn about any coping skills you currently have and assess how much support you have in your life. We will discuss your career education and family background.
