What to Expect
What you need
If you are doing Telehealth, you will need a smart phone, tablet, or computer. Having headphones is helpful to cut out any background noise. And you will need PRIVACY - a room with a door or even your car. If we are meeting in person, I will provide you with location and directions. I am currently seeing clients in Clifton.
Office where we will meet in person.
First appointments
Before your first appointment, I’ll send you forms to fill out through a private portal on Simple Practice. The first few appointments are time for us to get to know each other better, understand your needs, and discuss what you would like to accomplish from therapy. We will develop treatment goals and discuss a plan. If we will be meeting in person (my preference if you are vaccinated), this is my office space in the Clifton area, just a few minutes from downtown Cincinnati (3345 Whitfield Avenue) . There is parking on site in the back of the building.
The process
In addition to EMDR, I also incorporate Internal Family Systems (parts work), Somatic work (mindfulness, Reiki), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and psycho-spiritual work utilizing tools like the Enneagram, Gene Keys, and Human Design. We are all wired to be connected and it’s important to understand and explore your attachment history, your nervous system, and how that impacts your relationships to form deeper connections with others.
