What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Usually after sessions, I will give therapeutic homework on the topics that we have discussed in our session. This homework is designed to help build upon tools learned during previous sessions and assist with providing more insight needed to develop healthy coping skills.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I love reading books and watching different TED Talks regarding mental health, including those on depression, anxiety, and self-care. I take many CEUs on coping with depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. I am interested most in couples/family therapy as navigating a healthy relationship dynamic is usually the goal for most of my clients.
