I am an LPC offering therapy to children, teens and adults. I believe it very important to understand how our past shapes and influences our present choices. I believe we see and relate to the world the way we were shaped from an early age. Knowing who we are and how we see and perceive the world helps us understand and relate better to ourselves and others. -
During our initial session the most important part is to discuss the goals for therapy, the approached that will most benefit client and perhaps a safety plan with an emergency contact in case we have an emergency.
I believe my greatest strength is how passionate I am about my profession. I love what I do
I use many different approaches because I do not believe every person benefits from a "cookie cutter" approach. Life is complex and beautiful at the same time. My eclectic approach is often discuss in our initial session and together with the pt we discussed what is the best approach to use. I often like to visit the past to connect the dots and see where we are in the present moment and see what the person needs most.
