I’m a practitioner who works with individuals and couples to strengthen relationships, improve self-worth, and increase overall life satisfaction. I believe that relationships are the most important part of life and how we function in them is key to understanding ourselves.
My approach typically blends CBT and psychoeducation. This means that we’ll look at how behavior patterns in relationships might be affecting your sense of connection and overall well-being. I also consider lifestyle factors that have a huge impact on mental health. What signals is your body sending you? Beyond that, I like to focus on building skills to navigate difficult emotions and conflicts in order to empower my clients outside of session.
In the first session I will take an inventory of experiences throughout your life that you feel have shaped you, the good and the bad. Additionally, I will ask questions about your lifestyle (work hours, exercise, substance use, relationship with food, etc) and who you value most in your life. We will also discuss your goals for therapy and how I can help you accomplish them.
