How do I work?

Psychotherapy is primarily talk-based therapy and is intended to help people improve and maintain their mental health and well-being.

The first session usually begins with assessing symptoms and behaviors that often interrupt the social life, personal relationships, academic or work activities, and physical health. 

The therapy will include but is not limited to the following:

  • I will listen to your concerns, allow you to express feelings, and identify thoughts, feelings, behaviors, or circumstances interfering with meeting your goals.
  • I will support you in setting goals and developing concrete action plans for managing or overcoming the obstacles to your well-being and identifying strengths and resources.

As an integrative and focused psychotherapist, I draw on a variety of different theoretical orientations, approaches, and techniques in my work with clients offering them a service accurate to their needs. We will work collaboratively. I will provide you with relevant information, verbally, and/or in handout form to help you gain insight into your concerns.
