I am passionate about helping people deal with life challenges that cause them distress. My first goal is to help you identify what the problems are, how they impact relationships in your life, and what goals you want to work on to bring understanding, calm, peace, and joy back into your life. You are the expert in your life, and working together with me, I will challenge your thinking patterns to help you see alternative outcomes that align with the goals you are working toward.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I know that the first-time meeting with a therapist can be anxiety building, so my first goal is to make it as relaxing as possible. I will ask questions so I can understand what problems you are experiencing, so we are able to collaborate on goals you want to work on.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
My primary approach is CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy); however, I also utilize IPT (interpersonal therapy) interventions, as I believe language is powerful and how we communicate impacts all relationships in our daily lives. I am trained in the following treatment Evidenced based practices and models: TF-CBT (trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy), IPT (interpersonal therapy), Brainspotting, Triple P (positive parenting program), and MAP (managing adaptive practices).
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I work with you as an autonomous individual and in a way that empowers you to be the expert of your life.
