My Approach to Therapy
My approach to therapy is through a person-centered lens in order to focus on each client’s needs and goals within the therapeutic environment. As a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional, I assist clients in creating an open and safe space for honest discussions. I have experience with individuals struggling with substance abuse, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I also have experience working with children. My goal is to create a safe and open environment to allow for processing and healing.
As a counselor, I work towards assisting clients in reaching their individualized goals through a collaborative, person-centered approach. Asking for help can be difficult, and I strive to create an open and comfortable environment to allow for emotional processing and creation of therapeutic goals.
I utilize multiple modalities within my approach based on each client’s individual needs. These approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, solutions-focused, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), experiential, and client-centered. I have experience working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, and substance abuse.
I have experience working with children during my time as Therapeutic Staff Support, with age ranges between 4 years old to 15 years old. I also have experience working in outpatient substance abuse treatment, within which I focused on sexual health. As a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional, I find sexual health education to be extremely important and strive to create an open, non-judgemental environment when discussing these topics.
My counseling style is dynamic to fit each client’s individual needs. My goal within everytherapeutic relationship is to create a safe and open environment to allow for processing and healing.
