Reaching out for help in the form of therapy is not an easy thing to do as many can attest, but by reading this biography, you are taking the first step in getting help for yourself or a loved one. At times, life offers many struggles and obstacles that can be difficult to overcome alone. Engaging in therapy will provide opportunities to explore and process the thoughts and feelings that prevent you from living your best life. Though the thought of therapy may be intimidating and even nerve-wrecking for some, I believe once a person finds the right therapist, they find a trusting confidant who seeks to understand and problem solve.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In the first therapy session, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where they can share their thoughts, feelings, and concerns freely. We will begin by explaining the therapy process, discussing confidentiality, and addressing any questions or concerns the client may have. We will also work to establish a strong therapeutic alliance, building rapport and trust with the client. Additionally, I will conduct an initial assessment, asking about the client's presenting issues, mental health history, and goals for therapy. This session is an opportunity for the client to begin exploring their thoughts and feelings in a supportive and nonjudgmental space, setting the foundation for future sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
It is my goal is to help you find healthy ways to cope with your stressors, and together, discover long-term solutions that will lead to a better you. I will relate to you by leveraging my experience working with various populations, including people of many different ethnic, cultural and socioeconomical backgrounds. Together, let’s begin this journey.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with individuals who are ready to better understand themselves and create meaningful change. My ideal clients are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, or past experiences that continue to impact their present. They may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next steps but are open to growth, self-reflection, and building practical tools to improve their daily lives.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have extensive experience in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. In my practice, I use CBT techniques to help clients challenge unhelpful beliefs, develop coping strategies, and cultivate more adaptive ways of thinking and behaving to improve their mental health and overall well-being.
Motivational Interviewing
I have training in motivational interviewing (MI), which is a client-centered approach that focuses on exploring and resolving ambivalence. In my practice, I use MI techniques to help clients explore their motivations for change, enhance their intrinsic motivation, and ultimately increase their readiness to make positive changes in their lives.

With this being my first time in therapy Anthony really opened my eyes to a lot of things I didn’t know about my self and he’s very honest and open minded

Authenticity makes a difference in who you're comfortable talking to. It was a smooth transition into my first session!

My session with Anthony was really amazing. He was very transparent from the beginning and saying that although there are areas in my life that he would happily assist me with managing and treating, he was not equipped to handle exactly what I was looking for and so he helped me with resources for locating the type of therapist I need and I really appreciated the time he took to do that.
