“It’s so important to be able to validate who we are as people and be able to go forward from there. People put conditions on their happiness and get stuck. I am here to not only listen but be present and witness without judgment, and then guide you using your chosen model, whether it’s structured EMDR, CBT, or an integrated method that is customized to meet your unique needs."
The first session is about assessing your needs and getting to know each other. Change occurs when the therapeutic relationship is developed so that we can walk your path together and you feel safe doing so. I believe in a holistic whole person model of care and treating the whole person, whatever that looks like.
