What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first therapy session with me, you can expect a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment. The primary goal of this initial session is to establish a strong therapeutic relationship and to gain a deeper understanding of your needs, concerns, and goals. Overall, the first therapy session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, establish rapport, and lay the foundation for our therapeutic journey. Your comfort and well-being are my top priorities, and I'm committed to working collaboratively with you to help you achieve positive outcomes in therapy.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use a variety of modalities depending on the needs of clients, including: cognitive-behavioral, solution focused and narrative therapies.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have been trained in the treatment of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting, domestic violence and trauma.
