Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I often use client centered skills during treatment and have a certification in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. During our initial encounter we will explore your needs and decide what would be the most appropriate therapy modality for you. I like to utilize the time on our firsts session to build rapport, gather background information, discuss needs and perhaps identify treatment goals. I like to leave some time for any questions you might have and discuss scheduling.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
One of my strengths as a provider is my ability to connect with my clients and build a strong therapeutic relationship.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I enjoy working with client who are motivated and feel ready to make the changes they need. My specialty is working with children and adolescents however I very much enjoy working with adults . I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma, history of abuse and the symptoms associated with PTSD. We will collaborate to create a treatment plan that feels manageable to you with the purpose of helping you learn to cope with your symptoms.
