In our first session together, here's what you can expect

On the first session with me, we will discuss confidentiality and informed consent agreements to make sure that your cares and information is protected and safe guarded. I would then give a brief introduction of myself, and then to try to calm any anxieties that you might bring into therapy in general. We would then discuss whatever topics of issues/concerns of why you are seeking therapy and to discuss the process of how we look to resolve and work together over future sessions to get you where you want to be.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My therapeutic approach may come across realist and an optimist, because I do not attempt to resign in pity parties, whatever you are going through, the goal would be designed around what the client wants, learning coping skills, and different strategies to achieve the new self you desire to be. As discussed earlier I like a variety of different methods to aide in counseling depending on each client and their needs. Solution focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally focused therapy, attachment based, structural family therapy, and Gottman couples therapy are a few that I have worked with my 8 years of therapy.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I view therapy as a collaborative partnership that views the client as the expert of their own life, through the many different therapies that I love to work through. I want to help individuals free themselves from their problem stories and help create new life-affirming stories that will bring joy and fulfillment to their lives. I have a strong passion for working with couples and families that are struggling with communication, compassion, learning how to compromise with one another, issues with infidelity, conflict resolution, and intimacy issues.
