Get to know me

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

My first session with you will be to view what you need and also what your goals (what you would like to get out of therapy). We will also speak about confidentiality, fees, paperwork and any other questions that you may have just to make sure that everything is out in the open. If you agree that I am a good fit for you, then we can proceed to our next session.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I feel that my greatest strengths as a therapist are as follows: empathy, communication, and listening.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Using CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), I allow patients to reflect on the choices that have been done and what other choices that could have been made. Then from those choices, what the outcome could have been and let the patient decide which outcome would have been better.

Trauma-Focused CBT

Using Trauma Informed Care, understanding the background of the patient to understand why he/she is making the present choices. Once the understanding happens, then the patient can begin to move forward.

Gestalt

The empty chair technique is used in Gestalt therapy to address unresolved issues, conflicts, and emotions.

Jennifer Smith is a fantastic listener and she deeply considers my concerns and preferences in my treatment plan. She understands what it’s like to be an educator and she has both a friendly and professional demeanor.
