What does a first session with you look like?

I support you to increase your own self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-esteem to instill empowerment and motivation for you to succeed with your life goals. I will help by providing a supportive, safe space, for you to be heard and to heal. Together we will learn various skills, techniques, and learn to process underlying problem areas. Together we will work to increase and enhance your well-being.

What is your style/approach to therapy?

Becoming more mindful of how our thoughts affect our emotions allows us to truly see the connection our behaviors have in our day to day lives. I am a strengths-based and client centered therapist practicing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have also had training through UC Davis to incorporate Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques in session. I also am taking trainings in implementing Bibliotherapy sessions for those interested in integrating books as a means to healing. Books are near and dear to my heart and I have had the opportunity to hold book therapy groups that have been most beneficial and insightful for one working through certain areas of life.
