In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, I will try to get an understanding of what is bringing you to therapy. I like to get an idea of who you are and what is bringing you the therapy space. Before we meet for the first time, you will be sent some information to fill out if you are able to before the session. The information in the forms just help me get an understanding of what is going on. The first appointment we don't deep dive into anything just get a sense of surface level concerns. It would help me to know one or two goals that you would like to address in our time together. I will ask about your coping skills, which just means what do you do when your feelings get big or things feel out of control. I welcome questions you have about the therapy space, feel free to ask me questions. Its important to have a great working relationship and that this space is a great fit for you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I use a strengths based and solution focused approach to therapy. I am a clinical social worker, with training in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Traumatic Art Narrative Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Laughter Yoga. I use motivational interviewing and mindfulness techniques in my practice. Ok, so what you just read meant that I am passionate about helping people heal and thrive. I will take a tailored approach to you and what you need from the therapy space. I want you to feel heard and that your experience matters!

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I have worked with clients who experience anxiety, stress, parenting concerns, life changes/challenges, trauma, worry, grief/loss, end of life conversations, and behavioral concerns. It is my goal to help support you in processing what is going on around you, so you can thrive. We will take things at a pace that works for you, one step at a time!
