This involves the client telling the therapist about themselves, building relationship, and setting goals for treatment. In this stage, the therapist listens and also offers practical strategies.

In individual therapy, I work with men and women who:

struggle with anxiety
have concerns about their relationships
are going through difficult life circumstances
have been through trauma

For clients who want more than talk therapy, I provide Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), which is a research-backed therapy that helps people get unstuck and find relief from symptoms - often more quickly and effectively than in traditional talk therapy.

Another option for clients is The Flash Technique, which can be used to process negative memories quickly with little to no distress.
