I use an eclectic approach to ensure therapy is effective. A typical treatment plan involves defining goals, considering how thoughts affect emotions, coming up with real life strategies to address emotional dysregulation in the moment, or practicing how to communicate with others, in session, to bolster confidence outside of session. Clients leave with tools to use right away and a sense of calm.

In your intake session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy, some health history, and then decide the best ways to move forward. I often use CBT and Mindfulness in my practice. Don't be surprised if I ask you to do homework, or practice a skill between sessions, as this is important to really gel the work we do together! My work is always done through a biopsychosocial nursing lens.
