After our first session together, we will have developed a plan of action to help guide you on the path you desire. Once we know the direction we are going, you can expect a combination of rapport building which then leads to skill building. Depending on the type of treatment, that you determine is best, a combination of verbal processing and relaxation techniques may also be used in sessions to lead us to your goals.

I utilize EMDR (eye movement, desensitization and reprocessing) therapy to assist any individuals looking to overcome any past traumas. I also use CBT cognitive behavioral therapy, to help with understanding the connection between thoughts, feelings, and emotions. I also find that cognitive behavioral therapy can help with identifying negative patterns of behaviors. I like to incorporate mindfulness techniques, real-time in-session deep breathing, PMR (progressive muscle relaxation techniques. I also like to incorporate communication skill building (i.e. I-statements, reflective listening skills, Assertive communication)
