I utilize many modalities with my favored modalities being attachment theory and solution focused therapy to best assist my clients. I have vast experience in the field and have worked in a numerous settings such as working with children and teenagers and in family crisis situations. I have also worked as a child custody mediator for the family court for years. I have experience assisting families in reunifying and create long term plans to better their family.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
We will get to know each other to determine if my style is a good fit for you. Your comfort is important and you have a right to determine if I am the right therapist for you. However, if you find that we are a match I will involve you in the process of creating goals for yourself to move in the direction you want your life to go.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have patience, I am a good listener, I am easy going, and I care about the individuals I work with.
