Get to know me

Our work together will begin with getting to know you—your story, your challenges, and your goals. During our first session, we will identify areas of need and set goals that feel right for you. Each session will build upon that foundation, offering practical tools and a deeper understanding of yourself to help you face life’s challenges with confidence.

My treatment methods

Interpersonal

I am an Interpersonal therapist which means that I work interactively with clients based on their attachment styles. This theory is an evidence-based approach that has empirical support and is structured, and time-limited approach. It usually requires a minimum of 12- 16 weeks of treatment sessions. Based on this theory, social and emotional interactions between an individual and others contribute to mental health issues. Frequently conflicts between people are based on interpersonal interactions that become habitualized behaviors and require exploration and interventions.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Through my experience I have found Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to be effective with clients to address, depression, anxiety and other emotional needs. CBT is an approach to see connections and increase healthy response to behaviors, thoughts and feelings. Though the use of a structured approach CBT can be an effective way to reframe, restructure and effectively help clients identify and modify negative or anxious thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their mental health challenges. Opening an opportunity for increased insight of ways to develop practical coping mechanisms and manage their symptoms more effectively.
