Welcome. I know that it takes courage to reach out for support, so, thank you for taking the first step to a more fulfilled and happier life. Let me help to address the concerns that are preventing you from achieving wellness by replacing those concerns with helpful, positive thoughts and behaviors. Together, we will establish a supportive, trusting, therapeutic relationship that will enable us to begin the healing process. Initially we will complete an assessment to determine a level of care. We will do this by examining psychosocial stressors and identifying strengths to address those stressors. We will then develop a plan and set out to make the changes that will lead to you to wellness. We will develop coping mechanisms and introduce them as needed to overcome obstacles. I look at the world from my clients’ perspective, with a focus on personalized care and treatment in an environment that supports dignity, compassion and respect. I look forward to meeting with you to work on developing and recognizing your abilities and strengths and to enable you to achieve a wellness lifestyle.
