Individual Therapy
Are we a match?
The fit between client and therapist is critical to success. During the consultation, I highly encourage clients to bring questions with them. Two of my core values are honesty and transparency and as the client, you deserve to know who is walking with you on this journey.
I also do not work with everyone and look for qualities in clients. These qualities include, willing to practice new skills outside of session, willingness to show up consistently to session, and understanding that therapy is a reciprocal relationship–you get out what you put in. If we end up discovering that we are not the best match, no worries, I can assist with a referral.
What Therapy Leads To
I believe in the transformative power of psychotherapy tailored to your unique needs. Our client-centered approach ensures that every session is focused on your individual goals and concerns, providing a safe and supportive environment for exploration and growth.
I am dedicated to delivering customized care that goes beyond traditional approaches. I understand that no two individuals are alike, which is why I take the time to develop personalized treatment plans designed to address your specific challenges and aspirations.
Driven by results, I strive to empower you to overcome obstacles, enhance your well-being, and achieve lasting positive change in your life. My use of evidence-based techniques and collaborative approach, you can trust that you are on the path to realizing your fullest potential.
What is my process?
Once your initial appointment has been scheduled, then we will conduct an assessment to gather information to outline your treatment priorities.
The information gathered from the assessment will then be used to provide psychoeducation about presenting issues and inform what is covered during subsequent sessions.
Over time, you will notice that you have gained more awareness, emotional vocabulary, and regulation of your nervous system. This leads to an overall improvement in confidence and feelings of empowerment.
Throughout this journey together, you will also have frequent check-ins with me about what is working for you and areas that require a pivot. Your input is crucial to a successful therapeutic relationship.
As you meet your therapy goals, we will talk about phasing out of treatment.
How I Align Therapeutically
In session, I take a person-centered approach. This means that after we have had a few sessions and you have been provided with extensive psychoeducation about the reasons that brought you to therapy, the sessions become less direct. You will be met with empathetic understanding, a non-judgemental environment, and genuineness. I believe that we are all capable of finding our own solutions, we just need the tools to do it.
The modalities I use most frequently include: EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, experiential, and humanistic. I also incorporate somatic concepts and practices into my work.
