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

In our first session we will discuss the therapeutic process, confidentiality, and the challenges you are currently facing. This discussion will help create the treatment goals that we will work through in follow-up sessions.

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

My approach is supportive, open minded and non-judgmental. In a safe environment, I will help you better understand your unhelpful thought patterns. I will also help you recognize how your thoughts, feelings and behaviors all influence one another.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy working with adults to address issues related to life transitions, self-esteem, and coping skills.
