First session
Our first session provides a great opportunity to build rapport and get to know one another better. I will gather additional details and information related to your history and we will talk about the ways in which current symptoms are impacting your daily functioning. We will then work together to establish collaborative therapeutic goals.
Strengths
I believe that building rapport and having a good connection are two of the most important aspects of the therapeutic relationship. It is my goal to create both by fostering a warm and accepting environment in which you feel safe and supported. I bring compassion, empathy, kindness and humor into my work. Please contact me if you think I may be a good fit for your needs. I hope to hear from you soon!
Ideal clients
I really enjoy working with young and older adults, including the senior population.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to support clients in addressing a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression and stress-related disorders. I integrate CBT techniques such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation and exposure strategies to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. My approach emphasizes collaboration, goal setting and skill building to promote lasting change.
