During my sessions, please feel comfortable to express your feelings, because you are in a safe environment whether it is in my private office or telehealth. I can grantee you that you will not feel judged or unheard. I will challenge your irrational thoughts that are contributing to the behaviors that you can make appropriate decisions without feeling guided or mislead.

The goal for behavioral therapy is to help clients function appropriately by challenging negative thoughts and improving the client’s ability to manage their emotions.

However, I do use other techniques that are more appropriate and tailored to meet the client’s
