What does a first session with you look like?

My goal is to help you feel empowered to tackle hurdles in your life and develop skills to sustain confidence. Our time together will be a judgement free zone to express your thoughts, feelings, and emotions in efforts to promote improved happiness and a healthier relationship with yourself and others. It’s my objective to build a unique relationship with you. In our sessions we will identify indications of mental health challenges, problematic behaviors, and connections between your childhood experiences and current circumstances to provide a blueprint to address the challenges you are currently facing.

What is your style/approach to therapy?

I’m versed in the following forms of therapy, but not limited to: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, Psycho-Education, Mindfulness, and Psychodynamic Therapy. As a therapist, I know that one size does not fit all, therefore different modalities and techniques are adjusted based on each client’s needs.
