What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our initial intake session, could expect me to focus on building trust and an alliance to drive our therapeutic relationships, treatment goals, and outcomes. The initial session will allow me to ask questions about you, your current symptoms, and how you are currently coping. During subsequent sessions, I intend to provide concrete strategies and skills to promote improved self-awareness, and harness self-empowerment as you utilize techniques learned and practiced during sessions. Upon graduation from therapy treatment, you should see a decrease or elimination in your symptoms and be able to identify personal successes and emotional gains.

I utilize positive psychology to aid with strengthening your relationships in various settings and aspects of your life. I also use a person-centered therapy approach to create an open, safe space for individuals to share freely, and to use statements shared to assist individuals understand their thoughts and feelings.
