In our first session together, here's what you can expect

We'll also review any relevant background information and discuss your goals for therapy. Together, we'll establish a collaborative therapeutic relationship built on trust and mutual respect. I'll explain the therapy process and answer any questions you may have about my approach or techniques. Depending on your needs and preferences, we may begin to explore specific issues or simply focus on getting to know each other better.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Through CBT, I work collaboratively with my clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their distress. My approach is goal-oriented, practical, and evidence-based, focusing on developing effective coping skills and strategies to manage symptoms and improve overall well-being.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Awareness proceeds skillful actions. I am dedicated to helping individuals cultivate present-moment awareness and develop skills to manage stress, anxiety, and other emotional challenges. In my practice, I integrate mindfulness practices such as meditation, breathing exercises, and body awareness to help clients increase self-awareness, regulate emotions, and enhance overall well-being.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Communication is the key element of all our relationships. Learning interpersonal effectiveness skills helps us achieve our wants without triggering defensiveness in others.
