What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Client's will have intake forms completed by the first session. The first session is considered a consultation where we go over basic demographic information, contact information and history for me to get to know the individual and their current needs. The client and therapist get to assess if its a good fit and if so, identify on what they would like to work on in therapy as a goal.

I am trained in EMDR, CBT, DBT, ACT and Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness and meditation.
