I will help you to identify your mental health concerns and ways that we can work together to improve your mental health and reduce your stress caused by anxiety, depression, and interpersonal conflicts. Change will occur as you build on your strengths and identify areas that you want to change. My treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help you solve problems and life's developmental milestones.
I use a solution-focused approach to therapy by identifying ways to meet your short term goals. Compassion, listening, and maintaining a present focused therapy environment assist in identifying your strengths and building a therapeutic relationship. The skills that you develop in counseling will help you to achieve your goals.
Compassion and maintaining a present focus environment will help you to make the changes that you identify. Strength-based qualities are built upon a solid way to make the changes that you would like to see occur with your mental health.
