In the first session, I meet with you and gather important information about your background, current concerns, and goals for therapy. You can also ask questions, discuss your expectations, and see if you like to work with me. It is an essential step in our therapeutic process, for our collaborative work and relationship. In the follow-up session, we work together on your immediate concerns and develop some goals through our therapy ( Treatment plan). If necessary, I will provide guidance, coping strategies, or referrals to additional resources. The consecutive sessions allow us to monitor progress toward your identified goals. I can assess any changes in symptoms, discuss challenges or successes experienced since the intake session, and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.

I use evidence-based therapeutic modalities in my treatments including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, and Family / Couple Therapy. I incorporate mindfulness into my practices to enhance self-awareness, reduce stress, and promote well-being. I tailored the appropriate modality to each client's unique need, enabling me to customize care and strive for your deep healing. I select targeted techniques that do not depend on a "one size fits all" approach.
