First session
Our first session focuses on discussing your symptoms, feelings, life transitions, and stressors to gain a deeper understanding of what you're going through. We will also identify your goals for therapy, so we know what we're working towards.
Strengths
My approach is client-specific because my clients are in the driver's seat. My goal is always to work with you, riding in shotgun, so to speak, with the navigation. I integrate narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing to help you achieve your goals.
Ideal clients
Looking for an empathetic therapist who gets you? Do you have: Anxiety, Depression, Life stress, and/or Trauma? I’m ready to work with you to manage and overcome the overwhelming and heavy parts of life. Treatment modalities I utilize in my clinical practice include: Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Strengths-Based approach I believe social workers have an ethical obligation to take insurance rather than self-pay. Life is already expensive. Coping with life stress, supported by a therapist, shouldn’t add to the financial stress.
Treatment methods
Trauma-Focused CBT
I utilize Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with adolescents who have experienced trauma to master coping skills and re-train the brain how it thinks about the trauma to be able to retell the trauma story in a creative way for processing the trauma.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is helpful for identifying and re-defining negative or automatic thoughts and patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT helps with treating anxiety and depression.
