Welcome to
River Springs Counseling

During your first session, you can expect a welcoming, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. We will spend time getting to know each other and discussing what brings you to therapy, your concerns, and what you hope to gain from counseling. I will ask questions to better understand your experiences, strengths, and goals, while also allowing space for you to share at your own pace. We may talk about your history, current challenges, and what has or hasn’t worked for you in the past. This session is also an opportunity for you to ask questions about therapy and my approach.

Together, we will begin identifying goals and exploring how DBT and Solution-Focused strategies can support your needs. There is no pressure to share everything at once—my priority is helping you feel comfortable, heard, and supported as we begin our work together.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and goal-oriented. I primarily use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients develop practical skills for managing emotions, navigating challenges, and creating meaningful change in their lives.
