Apply coping skills to help manage or reduce your most bothersome symptoms. As you're ready, we can dive "deeper", whether that be processing painful emotions, understanding the function of a certain behavior (such as avoidance), or getting to the root of your negative beliefs.

Someone they find easy to open to and supportive, while also teaching them needed tools versus "just talking."

The first intake session is where I get a background of your mental health, life stressors and what brought you into therapy. We will talk thoroughly about your goals and review an initial CBT treatment plan so we can collaborate on what treatment will look like from the very beginning.

My background prior to starting my private practice was working in higher levels of care, including specialized CBT Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) at a mental health hospital. I keep up to date with therapy conferences and training for various CBT modalities.
