The therapy process is as you'd expect, the first few sessions I collect information about your life and history, the next session we collaboratively develop your treatment goals. Once those steps are complete we start your therapy journey; at first it's a lot of processing and skill building, these early intervention sessions often produce some relief from symptoms and overall positive feelings.

I use a multifaceted treatment approach as most presenting problems are complex and require different treatment approaches to resolve all layers of the issue. I have extensive training in CBT, DBT, ACT, and Family Systems. These are possibly just letters on a page for you but I will show you how these letters lead to learning, growth, and relief when strategies are applied in your life.
