Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Together, we will identify your challenges and goals - where you want your life to be a month, six months, a year from now. Then, we will identify options and strategies you can use to get there. You will leave the session with a better understanding of what you are facing with an "actions I can take right now" approach.
The treatment methods and tools I utilize
I utilize various treatment methods in helping my clients. The particular treatment methods depend on the client and their needs. With that said, my therapeutic approach is eclectic typically blending Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief therapy (SFBT), Motivational Enhancement Techniques (MET), Dialect Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and the Gottman Method.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I want to help you gain clarity, and build a healthy lifestyle that allows you draw from your personal strength. I work from a strengths-based and solution-focused perspective. I want to get to know you, understand what you care about and what you seek to accomplish. I believe in building trust and providing a safe place to heal and grow.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles. I help people who have been stuck and struggling with various challenges from anxiety, trauma and abuse, stress, work and life issues, relationship issues and depression

Dr. Apgar was very helpful during my first visit. She was very attentive and clearly interested in helping. She offered some good, manageable first steps for me to work on prior to our next meeting.

She took the time to listen to me and help me understand a little bit more of what I’ve been feeling. She challenged me to even just start thinking of ways to help me through crisis and I valued her suggestions while still giving me a chance to feel what is important to me.

She was very understanding and seemed to ask all the right questions to gain clarity of what my specific needs are in order to better focus on a plan to help me find better strategies to manage family life.
