First session
First sessions are an opportunity for us to connect as therapist/client and as humans; and for you to share your concerns and your life & therapy goals. It's important for you to determine a 'goodness of fit' for you. It is essentially important for you to feel reassured in a first session that you can get the support you uniquely need, and to feel a sense of emotional safety as well as some form of relief from distress.

Treatment methods
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)
Resilience strength based model that emphasizes authentic human connection in therapeutic relationships. Psychodynamic principles that address but not regurgitate or trigger past trauma in order to reconcile and integrate into learning to build healthier more secure attachment
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Feeling safe enough to experience, express and process emotions has enormously positive outcomes in increasing our quality of life and fully being present.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a part of all types of therapeutic treatment and personal growth. Learning to think and re-think differently in a way that gives us some freedom and joy but is also based in core truths.
Psychodynamic
As personal growth work is done, each one of us discover underlying dynamics that do originate in or own origin stories and development. To learn 'who we are includes self discovery of this nature as it arises organically in any modality of treatment and I believe deserves air time.
Humanistic
I value connecting with people where they are from human to human in an authentic way and believe this sort of connection is a healing elixir
