After an intake session to get to know you and identify therapy goals we will come together on a frequency that works for your schedule to discuss recent challenges, successes, and which therapy techniques you've been able to apply to your life outside of session. Every session is different and topics are led by you and what you wish to prioritize in therapy! Sessions will frequently include CBT and DBT skills, processing recent events that have happened and how to cope with them, identifying reoccurring challenges, and challenging automatic negative thought patterns. I will close each session with a review and a suggestion of proactive changes to try.

I primarily use strengths-based therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and motivational interviewing during sessions. Each person is unique and I believe that their therapy should be unique too. I will not approach your therapy with a cookie-cutter style used with 50 other people but together we will create a blend of evidence-based practice(s) that works best for you.
