Get to know me

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

After the first session, we will do a wrap up and confirm the goals you would like to work on in treatment, as well as ensure we have a next scheduled appointment. I find handouts helpful if there are particular "change" skills we would like to incorporate in sessions and can send these via email after our session if you like, so you have them in your therapy "toolbox" to reference.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I enjoy working with clients with substance use, emotional dysregulation, and trauma. I have used DBT in group and individual settings and enjoy incorporating mindful meditation techniques to decrease anxiety.
