First session
The therapeutic relationship is a powerful tool to help you tap into your inner strengths and resiliency, process experiences, and achieve healing and personal growth. The first session is your chance to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. I encourage my clients to be open, and to allow themselves to be vulnerable. Mine is a supportive role, and we will work collaboratively to assist you in developing deeper insights into what you already know, in order to reach your goals.
Strengths
My greatest strengths include my capacity for empathy and my ability to create a therapeutic alliance that makes personal growth and change possible.
Ideal clients
I am experienced working with adults and senior to address a broad spectrum of life's challenges.
Treatment methods
Eclectic
My style is warm, affirming, and empowering. Mine is an eclectic approach to talk therapy that draws from a number of various modalities to help you reach your goals, with an emphasis on mindfulness, learning healthy coping skills, and the importance of practicing good self-care. My practice is highly collaborative and strength-based, non-judgemental, and attuned to the particular needs of each of my clients.
