I am licensed clinical professional counselor specializing in adults who experience afflictions due to addiction. My treatment approach is to address the root causes that influence addictive behaviors.
I help clients achieve their goals and improve their lives through open communication, making sure there is a clear understanding of what the client hopes to achieve in therapy. This includes reviewing a client’s current life circumstances and the surrounding issues that they would like to address. Every client is different and discovering the nuances that makes a person’s story unique is essential to providing effective therapeutic interventions.
Establishing trust and rapport is vital to the client’s success in therapy. Oftentimes, people who seek therapy have a history of trauma and building trust and demonstrating consistency is an important component that positively affects a person’s motivation. Cultivating a safe therapeutic environment from the start lays the basis in which a person can begin the process of identifying, navigating, and overcoming life’s challenges.
