Our first couple of sessions will be history gathering, rights to confidentiality, and answering any questions about the therapeutic process and what you can expect from me as your therapist. Once we move on from those sessions we will dig into the depths of your current stressor and focus on incorporating skills so you feel confident in managing your current stressor. Let's face it, if we don't take care of the current crisis our brains will not allow us to learn and adapt new information. So once this is cleared, we will then explore and work to identify where these root thoughts came from so that we can target them and reprocess them together. Homework- triggers, the cycle of anger, thought distortions, the hierarchy of needs, & more!

I find it very important to address both our thoughts and our behaviors. I will use a multifaceted approach and incorporate different skill sets, and different therapeutic modalities as needed for each client. While a lot of us suffer from similar life experiences, I am a firm believer in no one's trauma is the same. Together we will find an approach that works for your experience. Some approaches we may use are the following: CBT, DBT, EMDR Trained, Gestalt theory, motivational interviewing, art therapy, mindfulness, meditation, narrative therapy, and am willing to look into other approaches you may be interested in.
