I have 55 years of life experience, and 30 plus years of teaching and counseling. I specialize in helping people with learning disabilities, trauma, anxiety, ADHD and self-esteem issues. I received my master's in counseling from Grand Canyon university.
I am good with trauma based CBT and solution-focused therapy. I believe that many of us know what we need to do, though we often need to be helped through the process. Some of us need to be made aware of the reoccurring patterns in our life that are holding us back, what their origins are, and why we are still using those patterns. Change is often uncomfortable, even when it is positive and necessary. I am here to help you through those changes in life, and bring you to the other side, healthier and happier.
In our first session, I will review with you why you are coming to therapy, what you have tried already, what's worked and what hasn't, and your goals for our time together. I will also get to know who you are as a person, and what you are looking for in me, as your therapist. After we have set some goals, the schoolteacher in me will come out, and I will assign you some homework to help you grow, based on the goals we are working on.
