With your goals for treatment, whether it’s your first time in treatment or your 10th time, we can prioritize which ones you wish to address and move forward. This usually starts with creating a safe space to discuss and understand symptoms, triggers, practice of current “survival coping skills,” and how you communicate your needs/wants to others. By developing your awareness of your patterns, then there is opportunity for choice. This can help with surmising how you feel your life has been interrupted and unhealthy for you. The importance of creating safety allows the ability to understanding how, when and why you “react” or respond” to people, places, and situations in your life 

 I will use worksheets, handouts, social media, TED Talks, podcasts, books, if we both feel it can be useful. I also use various grounding techniques to hopefully reduce reactivity before, during and after the session. My approach is to engage, mind, body, spirit in the healing process . I also encourage clients to bring in their cultural practices beliefs that have positive influences in your ability to heal.
