After your first session you can expect to have a more strategized plan to addressing problematic symptoms caused from your mental health. You will have an overview of the treatment process and theoretical orientations that will be applied. I will collaborate with you to narrow down your personal mental health goals, as well as offer any perspective of other life areas that seem to be negatively impacted by your presenting symptoms. Throughout your therapeutic experience we will explore many areas of your life, including the past and present while maintaining your autonomy and future development. The main goal will be linked to moving you towards achieving your treatment goal. My goal is to collaborate with you and provide perspective that can improve your life focus' & increase wellbeing

The treatment methods that I utilize consist of an eclectic style of approaches. I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, trauma informed, narrative therapy, and person centered theoretical orientations. I like to communicate the "why" behind any coping tool that will be recommended from therapy sessions. I focus on mind, emotional and body awareness skills to focus on the totality of your health. I encourage meditation, deep breathing, and mindfulness skills and provide resources to better assist you in implementing those coping skills. I use cognitive behavioral therapy tools to help you better manage your thoughts so that your thoughts no longer manage your emotional experience.
