Learning from my education, diversity in the field and the impact of life on life terms, I have learned that we all have a story to tell and chapters to write. I am passionate about what I do and am humbled by the people who I have worked with in my over 20 yrs working in the field and the experiences they have shared with me. It has helped me to become a better informed therapist and helped me to pursue my LCSW.
My approach to therapy is eclectic and person centered. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is goal oriented and evidenced based that helps individual identify and change negative thoughts. Motivational Interviewing is conversation that helps people resolve their feelings about changing behavior using open ended questions and reflective listening to build confidence and commitment focusing on client's strengths to guide them to their goals.
Our first session will be working to build a trust and rapport with you to develop a collaborative relationship. We will work at your pace in an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion.We will explore your goals and concerns in starting therapy.
