I also provide marital, premarital, and post-divorce counseling. My approach The most common theoretical approaches I use include brief solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, emotion process therapy, and faith-based therapy. My focus I typically work with adults and some teens, at least 16 years of age. At this time, I don't have an upper age limit. I work with both men and women and have experience working with dually diagnosed clients who have mood and/or anxiety disorders alongside substance use issues. My communication style I work to develop rapport with a conversational style of relating as I get to know clients and gather information. My journey to mental healthcare My senior research paper in high school was about mental illness because I found it interesting due to some of the things I had seen in the community and in my family. I initially majored in Accounting in college because I enjoyed it, but I changed my major to Counseling in my last year after a conversation with a friend who was completing a practicum working with abused kids. After graduation, I worked in case management for almost two years before returning to school to complete my Master's degree in Counseling. My goals for you Treatment goals are developed around targeting reduction of symptoms and development of coping, problem-solving, communication, and decision-making skills to improve outcomes and relationships for clients. My first session with you Clients should expect an integration of conversation with open-ended intake questions to develop an understanding of what brings him or her to therapy.
