What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients can expect that after approximately 15 to handle the intake and legal aspects of starting therapy we will immediately began delving into your issues and problems. You will find that my approach is practical and goal oriented. Your time is valuable and it is my goal to maximize the use of your time in therapy. It is not unusual to have some homework after the session to be completed over the upcoming week.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have a lifetime of experience which I bring to every session. My strong belief in the value of every individual and the unconditional acceptance I bring to every session are two of my greatest strengths. Family work is an area I have studied extensively. I enjoy helping clients to overcome addiction and to succeed through anxiety and depression. You desire results and my goal is to help you in finding solutions to fit you and your life circumstance.
