First session
The first session we'll start with an introduction, then we will discuss background and history. We will discuss concerns and challenges to determine frequency of sessions and create a treatment plan to utilize in follow up sessions. Treatment begins during the first session.
Strengths
I do not believe in a one size fits all model. I utilize an integration of modalities to best fit individual needs and to aid in behavior modification.
Ideal clients
I am a culturally competent therapist with experience working with various populations including, the LGBTQ community, adolescents, adults, couples, veterans, and those suffering from chronic illness. My therapeutic approach is solution-focused and strength-based, faith/spirituality can be incorporated into treatment as well.
Treatment methods
Strength-Based
I utilize an integration of modalities to best fit individual needs and to aid in behavior modification. I implement evidence-based therapy techniques including, but not limited to, mindfulness-based interventions, IBCT, CBT, ACT, and DBT to address symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relational problems, and/or other life stressors.
