What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My specializations have further refined my expertise in the areas of couples treatment and trauma. Being able to look at the big picture and zoom in and out as needed is one of my bigger strengths. Upon doing so, I am able to create a personalized treatment plan curtailed to addressing your specific needs. Sometimes, you might find that you come into therapy for one thing and yet the underlying root cause might be something else, such as trauma.
