What should a new client know about working with you?

I offer a safe, warm, and judgement free enviornment for my clients. I think every therapeutic relationship needs to be built on trust. During our first session I will be gathering information on your symptoms, experience, history with family and support, and discussing what you want to focus on. From there we will make a treatment plan that is tailored to you. During our sessions i'll use psychoeducation, CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy), and Motivational Interviewing. I think it is helpful for clients to understand their diagnosis and their behaviors.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

The first session will be 60 minutes in length where we will dive into your symptoms and what brings you to therapy. Based on your needs and schedule we will scheduled weekly or biweekly appointments to start. After the firs four session we may start implementing coping skills and ways to manage certain symptoms.
