During the initial session my goal is to get to know you, to assess your condition, understand how it is impacting your day-to-day functioning and find out about your efforts to help your situation. This is information helps me to begin to formulate a plan of treatment.
My greatest strengths are my extensive experience and wealth of knowledge gained in my years in the helping profession, where I have become comfortable in working with people from diverse backgrounds, religions and sexual orientation.
