Learning
Many people are understandably anxious prior to a first session. As indicated from feedback from clients, I am warm (client-centered), validating, empathic and empowering. During our meetings, we will explore some of your life history and presenting issues. I offer guidance to help you improve communication in relationships, identify repressed emotions and unmet needs, and understand and recognize how symptoms of substance use, ADHD, PTSD, trauma, depression, grief and loss, and anxiety affect you. Between sessions, I encourage individuals to utilize coping skills, read recommended literature, nurture creative expression, and self-reflect, all of which may help restore serenity to your life, improve mood, regulate emotion, enhance relationships, increase self-awareness, and help attain your desired goals.
