What should a new client know about working with you?

CBT is a scientifically proven method that can be effective in treating mental health problems. It illustrates how certain thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, and actions can trap you in a negative cycle. I integrate CBT and DBT to teach my clients how to identify, stop, and replace their negative thoughts. I can help my clients to change their negative thought patterns and improve the way they feel and behave. I help my clients understand the triggers that can lead to destructive and impulsive behaviors. I teach them effective coping skills to manage their symptoms. The treatment also focuses on developing a capacity to hold onto seemingly contradictory truths like the need for both acceptance and change.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In a warm and safe therapeutic space, I apply the strength and evidence-based modules to support my clients in addressing their problems and working towards their goals.
