I have worked in community mental health since 2014. My educational background focused on addictions and marriage and family counseling. I have training in motivational interviewing and solution focused approaches to building change.
I use a person centered approach and tailor the work to the individual. I like to provide education and skills training to support achieving a person’s goals for the session. I utilize mindfulness, CBT, DBT, writing, exploring relationship dynamics, and understanding the stages of change.
In the first session I want to establish connection and gather information. I want to know what’s bringing you to therapy, what you want to achieve together, and what you’d like that to look like.
