What should a new client know about working with you?

We work together to identify the cause of your distress. You are heard and seen. Trauma, anxiety, depression, adjustment, impulse driven behaviors can at times camouflage themselves and leave you feeling as though you are lost with no agency or control. Our therapeutic alliance will aid you to more successfully manage/reduce these feelings.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Through managing and awareness of your thoughts, emotions and behaviors you will begin to reduce dysregulation, distress, suffering and maladaptive behaviors. With time and support you will begin to feel better. So prioritize your mental health and I look forward to connecting with you.
