I believe therapy works best when it feels real, collaborative, and even a little lighthearted at times. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help teens and adults understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and actions — and how to shift them in a healthier direction. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore, grow, and start feeling more like yourself again.
I use the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy evidence based practice to focus on the way my clients are thinking and how that impacts their emotions and actions. The goal is for my clients to understand the process of how their core beliefs lead to have certain thought patterns which affects their emotions and their every day reality. We identify unhelpful thought patterns and work to retire them so my clients can be free of outdated and negative thinking patterns that weigh them down affecting both their emotions and their actions. I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills as needed to create a customized plan for my clients to address their needs.
A warm and welcoming space for them to learn about my approach and ask any questions they may have for me. For me to start gathering information about what brought my client to therapy and slowly start developing goals for our sessions to be based around so we can stay focused on making progress and taking action.
