Let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. We will start by getting to know each other, creating a comfortable and supportive environment. We'll discuss what brought you to therapy and what you're hoping to achieve, allowing us to tailor our sessions to meet your needs. We will also review relevant aspects of your personal history and current situation to gain a clearer understanding of your challenges and identify areas of focus.
Together, we will working on your challenges and goals. Through the process I will guide you and assist you to identify options and strategies you can use to reach this personal goals. Through my experiences, client has been able to leave with a better understanding of what they are facing as well well as evidence base techniques to manage challenges and feelings. I believe that we are a team and it is important that we always keep room for suggestions concerning our work together and keeping each other accountable.
My practice is focused on supporting young adults and college students facing challenges such as anxiety, trauma, life transitions, stress, and relationship issues. My approach is both holistic and personalized, ensuring that every individual receives the care and attention they deserve. I use a client centered approach to create customized treatment plans that address each client's unique needs and goals. My aim is to empower clients with the tools and support needed to make meaningful progress and lasting results.
I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past several years. It works by helping clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We will also look at changes in your thinking patterns and core beliefs that help lead to a less stressful and anxious life.
