First session
In our first session we will get to know each other and then start to identify the challenges bringing you to therapy. We will work on setting goals to create a tailored plan for us to work together in subsequent meetings.
Strengths
I have worked alongside individuals and families who have experienced significant health challenges throughout my career. I will work with clients to create roadmaps leading to measurable progress to reduce distress and build resilience.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with adults who have experienced life stress, setbacks, and dealt with chronic illness. My clients are eager to feel better, but don't yet have the strategies to make their goals a reality.
