Above all, my goal as a therapist is to show that I genuinely care about you and what you are going through. Each of us encounters problems, at times in our lives. In order to overcome those problems, it is often helpful to have an outside perspective. I hope to be that outside perspective that you seek. I tend to counsel from the ground up, focusing on when and where the problem began and exposing it through TFCBT, EMDR, Scripture, and other forms of CBT. Christian values inform my approach to therapy but will never be forced on any client. My therapeutic modality is eclectic in nature, but I always utilize evidence-based therapy. This means I will use a variety of techniques that have a record of success. In the initial visits, we will determine a therapeutic goal, and together, we will draft a treatment plan. I will give you as much information as possible concerning the techniques or elements of the treatment plan. You can decline any or all parts of the plan. As your therapist, my goal is for you to be personally invested in our counseling sessions, because this promotes desired change. Therapy is a relationship that works in part because of clearly defined rights and responsibilities held by each person. This frame helps to create the safety to take risks and the support to become empowered to change. Please note that counseling may promote unrest within persons and relationships. Often things get worse before they can get better. Also, please be aware that no one can guarantee a favorable conclusion to therapy. As a client in counseling, you have certain rights that are important for you to know. There are also certain limitations to those rights of which you should be aware. As a therapist, I have corresponding responsibilities to you. Your first session will be 90 minutes length in order to adequately review the psychotherapy process, complete paper work, and collect background information. The remaining sessions will be 55 minutes each. Although our sessions may seem very intimate and personal, it is important for you to realize that we have a professional, not a personal, relationship. Our contact will be limited to the paid sessions you have scheduled with me. Please do not invite me to social gatherings, offer gifts, friend me on social media, or ask me to relate to you in any personal way outside of our counseling sessions. You will best be served if our relationship stays professional and our sessions concentrate exclusively on your concerns.
