First session
Goals are an important aspect of the therapeutic process; they help to identify progress and the successes made in therapy. We work together to understand what you are hoping to achieve in the therapeutic process. We then identify and create realistic attainable goals.
Strengths
My approach depends on the person I'm working with at the time. I tend to be straight forward, honest, open, direct and compassionate. I find by using analogies, I can help create more understanding and insight into past and current issues.
Ideal clients
My focus is on adult individuals who struggle with addiction, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, codependency, motivation, self-esteem/worth issues and finding their balance in life. I also work with dancers, musicians, writers, and others in the entertainment and artistic industries.
