I believe in the power of rapport of person-centered therapy. I incorporate elements of CBT into much of my treatment approach. I am trained in EMDR to help process any trauma that may be a barrier to moving forward. I also provide ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) to help treat any OCD symptoms. I individualize treatment methods based on an individual's need and what will work best for their specific situation.

Our first session together will be spent getting to know and what brought you to therapy. We will work on developing an appropriate treatment approach based on your goals for yourself. We will spend time processing any significant events from the past and learning all about you and why your brain learned to function and perceive the world the way that it does. That will help us understand your current responses that may be maladaptive. There will likely be some homework involved, meant to build upon skills we have discussed and to help us review their effectiveness. Sometimes, therapy may feel worse before it feels better, but my hope is that each session will leave you feeling closer to reaching your own personal goals.
