I have been in practice for over 15 years and have experience working in clinical and hospital settings treating various mental and behavioral health problems such as depression, anxiety, bipolar, and trauma, and family and marriage/couple issues.
I use evidence based treatment approaches specifically cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy and other forms or variations of CBT in my treatment.
The first session is typically an intake session in which I gather information about my clients including health and family history. We set up goals and work on these throughout treatment. I often assign brief homework (e.g., readings/worksheets, practice mindfulness) and work on implementing different strategies to address mental and behavioral health problems with the end goal of ending treatment when my clients are self-sufficient emotionally and mentally.
