Welcome,
It takes strength to seek guidance to live a better life-so take a slow and deep breath-you did it!
I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker in the great state of North Dakota. I have had the pleasure to work with individuals, families, couples and teenagers. I have a strong background working with military families and military culture.
There are different models of therapies I use-Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution Focused because they use a strengths perspective. Depending on the issue and what you will be comfortable with in session will guide us to use a certain therapy. For example: when Implementing Cognitive Behavior Therapy- we would explore how your thoughts; affect your feelings; which leads to your behaviors that may not be hel ping you to live a full life.
I tend to take a “hit the road running” approach to reach the goals we developed in session. A session would begin with how you are doing; explore the issue(s), explore coping skills and discuss exercises to practice in between our weekly 45-minute sessions. Once again you did it-you started your search to work to live a better life.

Dolly has given me options and ways to be kinder to myself while also having the ability to be compassionate towards me in the process. She is always a delight to work with!
