In our first session I will work towards just getting to know you. Many first moments with a therapist feel awkward, so I hope to be a safe space to share and a judgement free zone. We will work on your goals together and when you leave our session, my goal will be for you to feel heard, seen, and closer to meeting your goals.

I use the following treatment modalities: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) - an evidence based practice that, in a nutshell, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. If we can change the thought, we can stop it from becoming a self destructive behavior. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) - an offshoot of CBT, it combines the goal of change from CBT with acceptance. Understanding that to change anything, we first have to accept there is a problem with our current system. Finding balance between good and bad, right and wrong, all and nothing. This is a very skill based therapy which will hopefully teach you not just why you think and act in certain ways, but also ways to change it to better meet your goals. Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) - This helps women heal from painful traumas. It is not the first modality of therapy I pick, but for people who are ready to face traumas, move past them, and have been actively working on themselves, it is a great piece of healing!
