Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In a first session together, I'll want to hear more about you and how I can help support through whatever is bringing you to seek out therapy.
The treatment methods and tools I utilize
I approach therapy in an informal, conversational way. With this, I incorporate different tools from the following approaches: cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT), as well as mindfulness. Sessions are not structured around these models, but the approaches are woven in; as situations are discussed in sessions, prompts and strategies are shared. Resources to explore between sessions can also be provided if this were something a client wanted to read and reflect on between appointments.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
With years of experience, I've developed a deep understanding of the complexities of anxiety. I'm here to provide practical tools and coping strategies to help you manage anxious thoughts and regain a sense of control. I pride myself on being an attentive and empathic sounding board, ready to help you process difficult feelings and explore the roots of your emotions. I provide a non-judgmental, safe space, where we can delve into stressful or worrisome feelings together and work towards finding clarity and resolution.
