I have 10 years of experience in counseling and mental health services. I have worked in all levels of care and built rapport with motivated and unmotivated clients alike. I believe the connection between therapist and client is crucial to create the space to be honest and confront one's life. I have found that the therapeutic modalities of Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) align most directly with my style and positive outcomes for clients.
I hold the client accountable to their goals by identifying the cost of change or barriers towards change and using the therapeutic alliance to instill courage to act towards desired change.
Warm and empathetic presence, safety to be honest, diagnostic precision, and clarification of direction in life.
