About My Clients
I specialize in working with clients who have depression, anxiety and trauma. I have extensive knowledge in how mental health can impact your overall well-being and how therapy with or without medication can help. I hope we can work together to help you truly thrive and find your inner resiliency.
My Background and Approach
My approach for the first session is to get to know you and your goals for treatment. I will always ask if you want to rebook with me and I want you to tell me if you don't find something helpful. I believe in person-centered treatment with the client always being the focus to help you be the most successful. In sessions, I will be a guide for you on your journey and help you navigate the challenges you face through supportive listening and cognitive restructuring. I mainly use CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) but also can integrate EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) to help clients struggling with trauma. For clients seeking medication only, the approach I use is similar with appointments being more focused on medication changes or updates but also looking at how effective the medication actually is. I never change more than one medication at a time without good reason and will always allow time for questions or concerns.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that therapy and medications can be tools to help clients be successful but not everyone requires both. Taking medications is a choice and I will work with my clients to find the best balance for them. I also believe in using natural treatments that are known to be effective as well.
