What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we'll take a moment to get to know each other. I'll ask you if you have any questions about me, or about the process of our counseling. Then I ask you to provide some background about yourself and the events that led you to seek out a counselor. If we have time after gathering infomation, we'll work together to determine next steps which would be helpful to you.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am passionate about helping couples make their relationship the best it can be. I use practical strategies to help you communicate better with your partner as a means to grow closer and resolve the conflicts in the relationship. I also love to help those with anxiety and a history of trauma. These can be some of the most painful struggles people have. Using some basic Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, I can help you begin the journey to healing.
