My Approach

In order to get the most out of therapy, it’s so important to find a trusted therapist who will meet your unique needs. Your therapist should have a personality you feel safe with, and a therapeutic style that feels comfortable to you.

At Footprints Forward, I create an inclusive and accepting environment where you are encouraged to be your true self.

Using a Cognitive Behavioral approach, together we will…

**work to improve problematic patterns related to how you perceive yourself, your relationships, and/or the world around you.

**capitalize on your strengths and capacity for resilience.

**make meaning of the past, sharpen skills to cope with the present, and prepare you to achieve a future of increased wellness.

Treatment Goals look different from person to person, but generally include some combination of the following:

• Exploring thoughts and feelings related to your experiences

• Creating a customized coping skills tool kit

• Learning and practicing effective communication skills

• Establishing healthy boundaries with others

• Discovering ways to tune into and prioritize your needs

• Assertiveness skill building

• Identifying strengths to bolster self esteem
