In our first session together, a biopsychosocial intake assessment will be completed. This includes collecting your background history and diving into the specific challenges you're facing. I will provide you with brief feedback and a brief introduction to the therapy model that will be used throughout our sessions. The information gathered will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
My goal is to provide a safe space based on empathy, compassion, and honesty. My priority is to identify and treat the source of your challenges to face them together.
I enjoy working with clients who are starting their journey with therapy toward a path of personal growth and healing.
I integrate the concept and techniques of ACT with other evidence-based models, such as CBT. ACT is focused on acceptance of feelings and commitment to values without the rejection of our feelings. It is focused on the "here and now."
