Do you want consistent, and collaborative therapy services? Do you want a therapist that can be flexible and accommodate your busy schedule? Are you tired of getting the same type of coping skills that not might be right for you? I work collaboratively with clients to develop treatment goals to establish clear expectations and effective treatment. I believe building a trusting relationship with your therapist is essential, I don't rush into anything that might make clients feel uneasy, and I am consistent with meeting for sessions, as well as, being flexible and able to have sessions via phone if Zoom isn't something you might feel comfortable with. I believe it is vital for the client to build trust with their therapist by educating clients about various types of treatment approaches and explaining the reasons behind every therapeutic intervention. I believe the more educated clients are about their concerns or symptoms the more effective therapy sessions tend to be, so I provide various types of homework at the end of every session from watching YouTube videos and providing handouts on skills that will be beneficial to meet your needs. I am big on Mindfulness and Dialectical Thinking to assist with coping and managing the root of your struggles. I'll provide a safe space for you to express your emotions, as well as, provide some guidance to promote inner healing and peace. Let's work together! Reach out for further questions or clarification.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first two session, it will focus on gathering information on symptoms and behaviors. The first session I psychoeducate about difference between a symptom and behavior to better assist the client in understanding the importance of exploring both in detail. It is very important to discuss in detail about symptoms and behaviors during our first session, I will ask how frequent are they throughout the week (1 day-7 days per week), how intense the symptoms and behaviors might be (low, moderate, severe), long does the symptom last (duration), and when did the onset of the symptom begin to identify a diagnosis and assist in creating a treatment plan the second time we meet. The second session we will meet to create a treatment plan to tackle some of your concerns. We will create a S.M.A.R.T goal to assist in tracking progress throughout treatment. I will discuss techniques/interventions I believe will help, and will ask for your assistance in figuring out what may or may not work for you personally, we work collaboratively when creating a treatment goal so myself and client are on the same page and have the same expectations moving forward in treatment, and to determine if I am the right fit for you. I truly believe you get out of therapy what you put into it.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My strengths include addressing areas of Anxiety, ADHD, Depression, and Trauma. With Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Intervention, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I will provide the ability for you to understand and take control of your life by identifying your thought patterns, thinking errors, and core beliefs by addressing your underlying issues contributing to your symptoms and behaviors. I believe it is important to integrate therapeutic theories into practice to guide treatment methods and services to better serve your needs.
