The first session is about gathering information and listening to you as an individual and being able to say things that are important to you in your life experience up to the day we meet on the first day. I want you to take away a sense of calmness and understanding that at times it is a good thing to talk to a person that is listening and hearing what you are saying, and most important that you are comfortable with the initial conversation we have.

Most treatment methods are evidence-based - so what does that mean just in simple terms that it is backed by scientific evidence so it is constantly reviewed, analyze, and translated into a process that is effective for change. I use a variety of methods, including worksheets, CBT - cognitive behavior; and integrating things that you have as part of your daily life- for example exercise, journal writing, painting, and many other ways to develop positive coping skills that are attainable.
