What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, after our introductions, we will discuss what you would like to accomplish during our sessions. We will discuss what brought you to therapy at this time. You will then complete an exercise that will ask you to examine how satisfied you are with several areas of your life. From this exercise , you will decide which area you would like to work on first. We will work to strategize how to accomplish these goals.

Positive Psychology
I have found that by utilizing the tenants of Positive Psychology and Strength Based Therapies, the client is enabled to use their strengths to achieve their goals. You will identify your strengths and learn how you have used them in the past and we will discuss how you can develop them in the future. I will help you take back your power and take back control of your life, which will enable you to increase your self esteem.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past several years. It’s helped clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
