Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
At our first session we will have time to get to know each other and identify what you want to accomplish. We will identify goals and ways we will try to accomplish those. We will identify a diagnosis, goals, and interventions. You will also have homework to work on that first week to start making change.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I feel I am a motivator and client centered. I use humor in sessions. I focus on goals and how to reach those. I will use what modalities are appropriate and effective.
