In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During the first session, we will discuss the reason that you have decided to come to therapy. I will begin to build a therapeutic rapport and connection. We will get to know one another as I learn more about you as a person, your mental health history, your presenting concerns for therapy, and your best hopes of what you would like to gain from therapy. I will ask about your family, your childhood, how you "see" yourself, your support system, any history of trauma or substance abuse. Typically at the end, I will have you to identify two goals that you would like to work towards during your therapy journey.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

Marriage and Family Therapist therapeutic models are based on systemic theories. Meaning that as your therapist, I will work with the identified client, however, we will process the system of people that influence you, and contribute to the person that you have become. I use Solution Focused Therapy, Bowen, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, MRI, mindfulness and Gottman Theory to name a few.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I feel like my strengths are in working with men, women and children with anxiety, depression, parenting issues, and couples with relationship challenges. I have assisted clients with work stressors, life stressors, family challenges, interpersonal clarity and boundaries to highlight a few of my successes.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal client is someone ready to "their" work. I always say, that what you put into therapy is what you get from therapy.
