About My Clients
What is it that you value? It has been my clinical experience that when symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma show up it can be because one or more of a person’s values are threatened. Truth is inevitable – it will show up. Maybe part of encountering the truth and aligning, or re-aligning with values, will be to bring to light any lies that you have been told or might be telling yourself. I want to help you with this work. Please contact me.
My Background and Approach
I focus my practice on adults (age 18+). I use Motivational Interviewing (MI), CBT, narrative therapy, interpersonal therapy, strengths based therapy, mindfulness, client empowerment, person centered recovery approach, solution focused therapy, DBT, 12 step facilitation therapy, and I encourage problem solving and skill building along the lines of a holistic approach involving spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical health. I am experienced working with clients with mood disorders, personality disorders, depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, thought disorders, psychosis, trauma, obsessions, and compulsions, and I am experienced in grief counseling, crisis counseling, and trauma counseling. I believe in creating a safe space for clients to have significant latitude to lead the discussion, allowing for ventilation of thoughts and feelings and fluid exploration of treatment goals.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I value spirituality, family, physical fitness, work ethic, and my five black cats (Hitch, Spirit, Diamond, Dragon & Mako).
