First session
During our first session, I will gather more information about your current concerns, and we will have an opportunity to get to know each other. We will identify your current interest in treatment, get a better sense of how your symptoms are impacting you, and help you in identifying goals for treatment.
Strengths
My greatest strengths are my ability to establish a non-judgmental space, provide excellence driven care, and to co-create a strong therapeutic relationship. While I have extensive experience helping clients make meaningful change in their lives, I maintain a natural curiosity and desire to learn methods that work best for each of the individuals I serve. Additionally, I am eager to ensure empathy, compassion, and evidence-based practices inform the care I provide.

Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
When working with clients, I primarily work from a CBT framework with a focus on helping clients understand the connection between thoughts, feeling, and behaviors. I value the importance of individualizing treatment to meet the needs of the person I am woking with, and aim to help my clients increase the use of adaptive coping strategies.
Integrative
