I am an LMFT, I graduated from APU with my Masters in Clinical Psychology in 2020 and worked with kiddos, then teens, then women with extensive trauma and now I work with: Adults with trauma (Men and Women), Veterans, Combat Veterans, Milspouses, and First Responders using a mixture of DBT and Person-Centered approaches primarily.
My current clients describe me as warm, friendly, funny, helpful and calming. Most have shared that they feel comfortable very early on and I always make it a point to check in after the first few sessions to see how they are feeling overall as feelings of anxiety can be a little high initially.
In our first session, I like to start off by introducing myself, sharing some of my personality, explaining why I became a therapist, my particular style of therapy and modalities (the type of therapy I use), and what to expect from having sessions with me.
