About My Clients
I work best with individual adolescents and adults who have identified negative feelings or patterns they want to work on. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They may often feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious or depressed in their day to day lives. I may help them face symptoms from anxiety disorders, mood disorders, relational issues, life transitions, and other negative symptoms or stressors.
My Background and Approach
I work with clients to find what methods will work best for them. I always start building our relationship together and help you feel comfortable with me first. Then I will use the evidence based treatments that have been proven to work best with your specific mental health concerns. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy techniques with clients. This is where we will discuss how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are linked, work on creating healthy coping skills, and help you learn mindfulness and emotional regulation techniques. I use solution focused brief therapy often as well to help clients build upon their strengths and help you find solutions to what you are facing. Other common techniques I used come from exposure, narrative, strengths based, and positive psychology treatments. I will often use an eclectic style or mix of treatment techniques depending on what works best for each client.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I enjoy helping people overcome anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, relational and communication issues, and all mood disorders. I have worked well helping people with personality disorders, and people experiencing dating and attachment issues as well. These are the areas that I have the most success with too. I use individual and couples counseling approaches as I hold a certificate in Marriage and Family therapy with my credentials. I have different experiences that let me help see your situation through many different lenses, giving me expertise on treating mental health symptoms at varying degrees as well. Whether you are going through a crisis or adjusting to new changes in your life I know we will be a great fit for each other!
