I am a licensed clinical psychologist. I have worked with clients presenting with a variety of therapy concerns. I work with clients on helping them identify the concerns they would like to work on. We come up with therapy goals to help address those concerns. We discuss how to address those goals and how to prioritize those goals so that we can work on things in a manageable manner.
In our first session, we will have brief introductions and then begin talking about what has brought you to therapy. This will give me an idea on what to focus on in follow-up sessions with you so that we can begin to put together a plan for addressing the things that have brought you here.
I think two things about me that help me help my clients are that I am a good listener, and I can work in collaboration with my clients to identify what can be set up to help them address their needs.
I have used CBT with all of my clients in therapy. We will use CBT to discuss your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behaviors related to what brought you to therapy. We will develop strategies to help you address these features to create a more positive way for you to handle the experiences that have brought you to therapy.
