What should a new client know about working with you?
I applaud your courage and initiative for taking this first step toward your emotional well-being. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Texas with over 10 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families facing many types of challenges. I truly enjoy this work and helping clients reach their goals, whether personal or professional.??
My strengths are compassion, sincerity, open-mindedness, and optimism. I implement a collaborative approach. I believe clients are the experts of their own lives and already know what is needed to help them live a narrative more reflective of the goals they have for themselves. My clinical skill set has been enhanced through my work with diverse populations in a variety of settings. I have worked with clients experiencing mood disorders, family violence, incarceration, crises, and setbacks in their relationships.
I practice strengths based approaches such as solution-focused therapy (SFT) and narrative therapy. I also implement cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). With SFT in sessions, I focus on solutions and how to build on what is currently working well for the client. Techniques/tools I use often include exploring clients strengths, how to build support systems, scaling questions, focusing on exceptions, and developing goal-oriented action plans. In using narrative therapy, I help clients challenge problem narratives to come to live a more preferred narrative for their lives. The tools/techniques I use include exploring the meaning placed on challenges/setbacks, externalization, and honoring the client as the expert in their own lives. The CBT techniques I use include anxiety management strategies, challenging cognitive distortions, reframing, and exploring the connection between thought/feelings and behaviors. ??
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, friends, reading, music, and watching movies.
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.
