I believe that in order for counseling to be successful we must work equally as a team with forming goals, implementing interventions, and assessing progress. In my view, to make sense of overwhelming issues it is best to break them down. Feelings and thoughts affect our behaviors and how we make sense of the world.

Therefore, we must address the impact those feelings and thoughts are having on our symptoms and actions. While also diving into the root of those thoughts and feelings.
First session
My goal in the first session, is to determine if our therapist/client relationship will be a good fit for you. I would like to receive a good idea of your story that led you to therapy today and your personal goals for therapy
Strengths
My approach starts with unconditional positive regard for clients. Having client feel comfortable in their therapy experience.
Ideal clients
I believe that clients have to be in a mindset of being ready for therapy and growth for it to be effective.
