As your therapist, I will work collaboratively with you to develop strategies to help you manage your mental health concerns so that you can reach your goals and live a more satisfactory and fulfilling life. I most commonly use cognitive behavioral, solution focused, and meditation and mindfulness approaches in my counseling. I have additional training in marriage and family therapy, motivational interviewing, DBT, and trauma informed therapy.

In your first session I will conduct an assessment that will allow me to get to know you and why you have come to counseling. I will ask you questions about your problems, symptoms, what your goals are for counseling, and about your life history that has brought you to where you are. Then we will come up with a plan together to help you reach your goals. This will include helping you to get to know me, what you can expect from counseling, and how the process of counseling works.
