Services

◗ New Client

Your first session is a collaborative intake designed to lay a strong foundation for your care. Using a thoughtful series of questions, we'll explore your current concerns, any symptoms you may be experiencing, and — most importantly — your goals for therapy. Together, we'll use that insight to develop a personalized, meaningful care plan that reflects your needs and priorities.

A key part of this process is identifying your strengths. By understanding what has supported you in the past, we can build a solution-focused approach that draws on what already works for you — from the very first session.

◗ Individual Therapy

The majority of subsequent appointment time is considered individual therapy. An outside perspective can be useful in identifying barriers to meeting your goals. I will infuse evidenced based practices, including but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to support skill building as part of our sessions. Ongoing support can be useful in so many ways, as it allows you time and space to develop skills to support you in reaching your goals and holds you accountable to follow through. In sessions, we can problem solve and determine solutions to barriers that might be impacting your success. We will also review successes, however small they might feel, as a way to support strength building.

◗ Couples Therapy

Sessions with couples will be focused on problem solving relational concerns that are negatively impacting the relationship. Skills reviewed are typically focused on, but not limited to, communication improvement, conflict resolution, and boundary setting. Progress and barriers are reviewed by each partner in session. Barriers to progress are openly discussed and problem solving around overcoming these barriers occurs in session. It is often helpful to have a mediator and neutral party present to support the couple in navigating challenges and creating space forward to improve connection, which in turn increases relationship satisfaction.
