My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral health (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention, Anger Management and Trauma Focused Therapy.
First session
Our first session together will give us an opportunity to get to know each other better, for me to understand what has brought you to therapy, to hear what you are going through and to talk about what you would like to work on. It could also be a great time (if you are comfortable) to explore family history, relationship obstacles, and any traumatic events you have experienced.
Strengths
I chose this field because I enjoy listening and being present for others. I am passionate about seeing people create the shifts in their life that brings understanding, self-care and overall increased well-being.
