Licensed Individual Counseling

My goal when meeting you for the first time, whether it be your first experience with licensed individual counseling, or you are familiar with licensed individual counseling, is to help you feel safe and comfortable while getting to know one another.  Let’s face it, you must be in a significant amount of pain to take time out of your busy life and day to make time to come in and share your struggles and secrets with a complete stranger. I believe I have a natural gift and instinct that allows me to begin forming our therapeutic relationship with a calm, warm, non-judgmental approach.   In our first session together, I will obtain background information on you and your family.  We will work collaboratively to determine what your top priorities are to begin the process of improving our life. By the conclusion of our first session I like to check in with you to see how you feel about coming back to see me. Were you comfortable speaking with me? Do you feel my qualifications and way of working works for you? My experiences as a mental health professional have been extremely positive, as reported by myself as well as clients. I may not be the right fit for you, and if not, I am happy to provide referrals for another clinician that may suit your needs more appropriately.  My goal is to provide you tools to live your best life.  The life you are creating for yourself. Some of the issues I work with clients individually on include

·         Self-Esteem

·         Assertiveness Training

·         Listening Skills

·         Communication Skills

·         Identifying Strengths

·         Balancing Various Roles in Life

 What brings you in to see me? It would be an honor to learn more about you.  Feel free to contact me for our first session to determine if we are the right fit for one another.  I look forward to working together.
