I have over 25 years' experience as a Social Worker. My clients have struggled with anxiety, depression, grief, career/life transitions, self-esteem issues, substance use, and trauma/PTSD. I like to take a humanistic approach during sessions combined with other therapeutic strategies, CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Motivational and Solution Focused therapy. I offer a non-judgmental, caring environment where clients are able to express themselves freely.
I believe therapy is an opportunity for people to develop insight into themselves in order to find self-acceptance and a deeper connection with others. We will explore the barriers that are interfering with reaching your desired goals. I will support you in developing new coping strategies that can be applied to a variety of life situations. Feelings are overwhelming and unhealthy patterns are developed as a defense. I will encourage you and gently guide you through the challenges.
For the initial sessions, we will establish a therapeutic relationship by exploring your concerns that brought you to seek therapy at this time. Together, we will develop a treatment plan based on your desired goals and moving forward using therapeutic techniques to reach your potential.
