In our first session, we will review "house keeping" information and get to know each other better. This is your opportunity to ask questions, tell me what is most important for you to address in treatment and let me know any concerns you may have. At the end of the session, we will design a path forward together.
Having worked with numerous populations over the past 15 years, I have developed a understanding of our commonalities and differences. With that said, you can rest assured that you will not receive a 'one size fits all' approach to your treatment. Rather, it is my responsibility to see you as the unique individual you are and help you live the life that YOU believe is worth living void of as many preventable barriers to your happiness as possible.
Therapy is individualized and focused on communicating resources to you in a way that you best understand. I use a mixture of treatment methods designed meet this goal.
15 years of experience with CBT. We will use CBT methods as applicable to help you achieve your goals.
Over 10 years of experience aiding others with couples and marital concerns. Sometimes, we find ourselves repeating unhelpful patterns or being riddled by expectations/resentments. I can help you navigate these hurdles to achieve a happier and more fulfilling relationship.
Over 15 years with this approach. Culture is the framework from which we derive our expectations and definition of normalcy. It can also be how we define ourselves. Having a clinician that understands the importance of our cultural identity while also still being able to help you facilitate meaningful change in your live is critical. I would love to help you.
