Hi there, welcome. It is wonderful to see you are taking the first step to connect with a therapist. My style is casual and client centered. Clients set their own goals as I support them in feeling heard, safe and an equal part of the therapy process. Our focus would be to identify areas of difficulty, build on the strengths you already have, identify triggers and learn coping strategies to help ease symptoms that may be impacting day to day life. I believe in the importance of meeting people where they are and providing non judgmental, open connections. My clients are adult women who identify with one or more of the following: family conflict, estrangement, caregiver, grief, aging, hospice, anxiety and/or chronic medical illness.
Strengths
My sessions are very much client driven. Each session looks different depending on the needs and topics brought to session.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Noticing thoughts, patterns of thoughts and challenging them with a reframe to a more positive interpretation.
Location
Virtual sessions
