Statement:
|
I have over 15
years experience counseling with
individuals, couples, and families and work
to help those who are struggling with
anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors,
behavioral disorders, marital and family
conflict, parenting difficulties, and
challenges associated with adolescence.
I want therapy
to be a positive experience for you. I
understand that you have values, hopes, and
dreams that are important to you, and I will
do my best to respect them and, as
appropriate, help you build upon them. I
will work hard to tailor the therapy
experience to fit your needs and
personality.
In general, my therapy tends to be
directive, cognitive, behavioral, and
eco-systemic. Directive means that I often
make specific suggestions and/or give
assignments for you to complete between
sessions. Cognitive means that I place a
strong emphasis on patterns of thought that
may contribute to the way you feel and
behave. Behavioral means that I help you
establish specific goals of behavior change,
and work to help you identify reinforcements
and consequences that might facilitate, or
hinder, your efforts toward positive change.
Eco-systemic means that I take into account
how family, culture, and society perpetuate
and reinforce both positive and negative
life patterns.
I provide
counseling in Springfield, Illinois, but
also have options to serve individuals
outside that area. Call today and see
how I can help you.
