I am a "pattern based" clinician who specializes in helping my clients identify negative patterns in their life. Once negative patterns have been identified, we will work together to replace negative patterns with healthier skills. I am also a core driven clinician who specializes in identifying the root of a problem. I believe once the root of the problem is discovered, we can process it and find positive strategies to heal through the painful core issue.
I am a person centered therapist who believes my client's are the "experts of their own lives". I pride myself on empowering my clients to lead the session and identify targeted goals they want to accomplish. I utilize CBT therapy strategies in my counseling approach and will work with my client to identify how negative thoughts can impact behaviors.
The one thing I often warn my clients of when working with me is the quick results they sometimes see when working with me. I work to identify the core of their problem in the first 2-3 sessions (depending on comfort level). Once the core concern is identified, I will immediately begin assessing how we can create new positive patterns to overcome any symptoms that may be the result of the core concern.
