MY THERAPEUTIC APPROACH
Helping you to learn strategies for managing life’s challenges
With the support of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, you can have the power to change your emotions, thoughts and behaviors.
I’m going to help you to recognize your emotions and then support you through the process of identifying the ways in which you can control these emotions. For some clients that looks like practicing mindfulness exercises. For others, we may go for a thought-challenging approach. Once we identify your unique toolbox, you will be in the driver’s seat of your emotions.
I’ve seen so many success stories using these techniques. Clients tell me they feel like better versions of themselves. You’ll love learning these tools to better yourself and reach your goals of self-fulfillment.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A THERAPY SESSION
My style is a calm and gentle listening ear mixed with humor and motivation
Our therapy sessions are 45 minutes long, usually scheduled on a weekly basis. During our sessions together, you’ll share what you’re experiencing in your life and the emotions you’re feeling.
Together we’ll explore your experiences and hone your ability to recognize your emotions in the moment. We’ll also discuss strategies to help you better navigate the stressors in your life.
At times, I may call you out for a set-back, and other times I’ll listen while you cry. Sometimes we will laugh hysterically. Sometimes I’ll make analogies that speak to your heart. I’m here to support you as you learn new ways for approaching your life.
