I received my Master's in Mental Health Counseling in 2016, worked for a substance abuse IOP until 2021 and have since been in private practice. I specialize in substance abuse but also work with many seeking help for anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, etc.
I often use skills from CBT, such as highlighting unproductive thinking patterns and helping my clients reframe them. I will also use DBT skills to aid clients in managing their emotions.
In the first session we will complete more in depth intake questions and I will ask them to consider what goals they would like to work on. At the end I will open the floor up to them for any questions, concerns, etc.
