Hello, let me start by telling you about my experience in working with Crisis management through the OK State Crisis intervention facilities of 7 years. I have spent time with hospitalized patients working with the psychiatrist in observing medication treatment, talk therapy, trauma work, and solution focused assistance. I have worked 13 years in addiction with having life experience of my own in knowing the effects and struggles that come in that area. I am not here to tell you what to do in your life, I am here to help guide you to a better life. Life is full of ups and downs and being aware of how to avoid the downfalls of doing the same thing repeatedly by getting the same response. Let’s find a new journey path to a life of recovery from emotional pain, self doubt, low self esteem, self defeat along with anxiety, depression. If there should be addictions in your life we will look for the foundation in which the need for self comforting began.

Life is hard and we just can’t give up without an attempt to understand ourselves. In learning awareness of our thoughts and how we react by behavior, we learn to help ourselves with my guidance this will happen. I don’t have a magic wand, but I have some things I can share and work on with you to live a better life. I will assist you in your thinking in the present in CBT. I will assist you in solving your problems through Solution Focused by helping you brain storm the solutions yourself. We have to be willing to make a change to have a change in our lives. I do not judge you and try to lead you from self judgement into acceptance of self. Change can be uncomfortable for all people but being able to be accepting of our self and taking those steps we can make small steps of change with empowering effects.

Our first session is allowing you to inform me of your presenting problems, your past difficulties, fears, and allowing me to get to know you and you know me. By the end of the session I will be able to inform you what our first steps will be to work on your personal goals of therapy.
