There is no "one size fits all" treatment. I believe everyone works towards and achieves recovery differently. I get to know clients and collaboratively develop individualized treatment goals using trauma-informed and person-centered approaches, and introduce other modalities to meet the needs of the client, including the option for telehealth services.
Before any other work can occur in counseling, an atmosphere of respect and safety must be developed within the relationship. You are more than your symptoms, more than the problems you face or the struggles you encounter. Everyone needs support sometimes, and my goal is to provide my clients with a safe place for hope and healing.
