What should a new client know about working with you?
Having experienced my own share of pain, I understand how it can be a powerful teacher. I often joke that I’m "allergic to pain," yet it’s through these difficult experiences that I’ve discovered the most profound happiness and peace. This insight informs my therapeutic approach, primarily focusing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I find that ACT, a modern Cognitive Behavioral approach, resonates deeply with those I work with, guiding them toward meaningful change.
In our sessions, I aim to help you recognize what your pain is trying to convey. Together, we’ll explore strategies that foster psychological flexibility and enhance your coping skills, including mindfulness and focus. Utilizing tools like the ACT Matrix, I’ll support you in sorting through your experiences to identify what truly matters to you.
When I'm not working, I enjoy cooking, volunteering, and grandchildren, which keep me grounded and inspire my work.
I genuinely look forward to walking alongside you in this process and helping you uncover the path to a more fulfilling life.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as
exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important
to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
