Therapy style

My goal is always to help my client in the way that they understand and teach them how to be independent from my care to grow into the life changes that they desire. I am a therapist who focuses on understanding. Each person that I work with is a story. Being able to understand the person through their eyes is the guide that moves us towards why they need help and how I can help them. My therapeutic style is to find ways to get to know who I am speaking to and who they want to become with my support. The years that I have spent working with various people in various locations makes me feel comfortable in saying that I am able to know who my client is and am able to prove to them that I do and want to understand. My therapeutic successes have been achieved in using strategies from modalities that focus on behavior modifications and changes, insight orientation, person centered, and short-term treatments.

Interests

Outside of clinical practice and engaging in professional developments in the field, I am a bird that is always flying. Anything outdoors, new, and fun I do and drag my little ones with me. Photography is a huge interest of mine and taking pictures to help build these memories is a passion that I have as a strong family person.
