Mental Health Therapy
Did you know? Research shows that the MOST significant indicator of someone’s success in therapy is their relationship with their therapist!
Therapy is about finding what works for you, and my approach centers primarily on building a strong, collaborative, trusting relationship to help you achieve your goals. Whether you are enthusiastic about starting therapy, or feeling a bit resistant and unsure of how it can actually help you— I aim for our therapy sessions to be a place where you can “come as you are”. It is important to me to tailor therapy to fit your unique needs.
I understand that therapy can feel intimidating. I approach these concerns with patience, understanding, and even humor when appropriate. I like to “roll with resistance”. Together we will come up with goals that feel authentic and manageable.
My style is relaxed, yet intentional— I’ll meet you where you are at while gently challenging you to grow and explore new perspectives. I am serious about providing exceptional care while also keeping the experience approachable and human.
My goal is to help you navigate challenges, reduce your symptoms, manage stress, feel like yourself again, set boundaries, increase confidence, and any other change that is meaningful for you.
Some modalities I utilize in my approach: Motivational Interviewing (MI), Strengths Based, aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Relational Therapy.
Clinical Support in Legal Proceedings
As a social worker, I approach each case with a well-rounded perspective and a focus on achieving outcomes that reflect the client’s unique situation and strengths. Often times, having clinical information and insight can offer a deeper understanding of a person’s mental health, background, and personal circumstances that might not otherwise be considered.
I am currently accepting cases relating to the following:
Biopsychosocial assessments
Substance use evaluations
Risk assessments
Mitigation reports
Treatment recommendations
Discharge planning
Finding placements
Finding and coordinating community resources
Assisting client with accessing needed services or supporting them with implementing an Action Plan or treatment plan
Collaborating with providers, attending treatment meetings
Obtaining/reading/summarizing medical or mental health records
Parole cases
And more—just ask!
