What does a first session with you look like?
We are all individuals and there is no “one size fits all” type of therapy. We will develop a treatment plan that addresses your needs, with an approach you can relate to.
What is your style/approach to therapy?
I utilize many treatment methods, but the one I start with is a person centered approach, I will meet you where you are. We will address your issues, perhaps look at solutions and problem solve to begin symptom reduction. Some clients who have experienced trauma, will benefit from a trauma informed approach in which I use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). We will look at your past and how it's affecting you, in order to improve your functioning today.
