The client's first session will be one in which the client completes an assessment telling brief parts of their life story, but in an orderly fashion. Therapist will help the client with moving forward through coaching, validating, allowing collaborative processing, asking clarifying questions, providing referrals, psychoeducation, by modeling skills and via encouragement. Takeaways from each session with me should be increased self-awareness, education, and/or a potentially different way of viewing your current situation.

I utilize Acceptance & Commitment Theory to assist clients with overcoming negative attitudes, thoughts, and feelings that result from difficulties that come with life. Art therapy to assist the client express their feelings and thoughts through art to include painting coloring and drawing for those who struggle to express their emotions and experiences through words alone. Client Center Therapy, to allow the client to take more of an active and directive role in the healing process. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to facilitate change in specific behaviors, feelings, and thoughts that impact the client's ability to develop healthy thought patterns. Grief therapy to assist the client with the loss of something close to their hearts like employment, a loved one, a pet, or relationships. In addition, I utilize Music Therapy, Play Therapy, Positive Psychotherapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, Psychodynamic, and Trauma-Focused CBT.
