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

My style is supportive and interactive. I am a great listener and I believe in treating others with respect, sensitivity and compassion. I am not a believer in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, person-centered, humanistic and rational-emotive therapy. I am always able to tailor our talks and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. You are the driver of the bus and I am here to support you to reach your goals. I look forward to working with you and helping you get there!

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

We will discuss your goals regarding what you want to get out of therapy. This will help to focus your sessions and give you perspective on how you want to grow. These goals may need to change over time depending on circumstances, so it’s good practice to keep checking in about them as the therapeutic relationship continues. I may also send you worksheets and/or ask you to journal if you are comfortable with that. Please note that If you do not show up for your appointment at your scheduled time or your appointment was canceled/rescheduled without at least 24 hours' notice, you will be charged a no-show or late cancellation fee of $85. Thank you.
