What does a first session with you look like?
I use a strength-based approach to therapy that helps clients identify their own strengths and enhance them to solve problems. I believe that each of us has the answers we need, but sometimes it can help to bounce ideas off a qualified professional! After sessions with me, you should leave with specific solutions to problems you are facing in life, and hopefully a better approach to framing future problems.
What is your style/approach to therapy?
I utilize aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge negative thoughts and work to develop healthier behavior patterns. I am trained in EMDR- a therapy that utilizes eye movements to mimic REM sleep and help heal your brain from traumatic memories. I believe in taking a strength-based approach to therapy and believe that clients already have the solutions to many of their problems. I believe in being solution-focused as opposed to pathologizing clients or problems.
