What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
We will have a relaxed discussion about what is contributing to how you are feeling. We will identify what symptoms are present and begin the process of learning about how those symptoms are
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Clients have told me that I give them space to discuss their ideas and what affects them compassionately and without judgement. I offer insight into thinking about issues from a solutions focused perspective. I have an empathetic approach to problem solving to help you identify what needs to be changed, and potential options for making those changes. Perhaps my biggest strength is my desire to meet you where you are so we can develop a plan to reach the goals you set for therapy.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
This helps to identify the thoughts and beliefs that are triggered when emotions are triggered. This is beneficial toward limiting the tendency of thoughts, beliefs, and interpretations of events to intensify the feelings that have been triggered. From there, working on new methods of thinking and engaging in activities to create necessary changes for long term relief.
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
The most evidenced backed method of treatment for working through OCD. This can be done in session virtually, either working through the triggers and responses in session, or setting the plan and processing the successes and difficulties encountered in each session.
Integrative
I combine elements of different treatment methods to create a customized treatment for each client. This includes Existential, DBT, Behavioral, and Solutions focused treatments.
Psychoeducation
Learning about what contributes to what you are experiencing helps to remove the potential mystery and begins to help build awareness of how and what contributes to how you are feeling. This can be a powerful tool for noticing things earlier and taking proper action in the future so that you have more effective tools for managing symptoms.
