I am a licensed professional counselor and have been in practice for over 10 years. My partner is a counselor in the field for over 5 years. We are well versed in substance abuse issues/addiction issues, as well as anxiety, depression, and trauma. We believe that therapy should start with forming a connection between counselor and client, as well as providing and practicing coping skills during the initial session. We offer both in person and virtual therapy sessions, depending on what is best for the client. We have weekend and evening appointments and work with our clients to the best of our ability to meet their immediate needs.
We aim to address the most pressing issues quickly and provide coping skills and tools to prepare the client for the initial stages of therapy . This allows us to form a bond with our clients from the first session. We Believe it’s necessary to address the issues and start working on them immediately.
Here at Better Patterns Therapy, we understand the difficulty with reaching out for help and we are here to support you through this journey. We are excited to welcome you to the practice and to work with you.
