My Approach to Helping
I am experienced in working with children, adolescents, and adults. I work closely with clients to find strategies and solutions that will work for them which include making healthy, positive choices. I have found that clients usually know that something is wrong but they need help to identify problem areas and to learn how to make appropriate changes.
Clients often feel embarrassed or weak when asking for help with personal issues. It is my sincere belief that it is not a sign of weakness, but of strength and determination, to seek out help during difficult times in one's life. I believe that we all can learn a great deal from each other: how to be kinder, more caring, patient, and compassionate. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to work with clients who want to make positive changes in their lives.
More Info About My Practice
Office: I use a cognitive behavioral approach when working with clients in my office. Sessions are 50 minutes in length and include time spent with child and adult clients, and extended family, if needed. I help them see how their thinking leads to the choices they make, and how they can change their thinking to make healthy life changes. I am now an in-network provider for several insurance companies. Please contact me about your insurance coverage.
Schools: I work with students and teachers in classrooms focusing on such issues as bullying prevention, class cohesion, grief and loss, organizational skills, social skills, study skills, and school success. I consult with school personnel to assist students in working to their full potential and to help schools create safer environments for students and staff.
Communities: I conduct presentations, workshops, and seminars for churches, businesses, and other community groups on issues involving children and families. These topics include communication techniques, discipline vs. punishment, family cohesiveness, grief and loss, respect for self and others, school success, separation, divorce, and remarriage.
