What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored treatment plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I offer a different approach to therapy that is less abstract and more focused on creating serious changes in the way our minds function. Issues regarding sexuality, gender, anger, trauma, and religious or existential questions are my specialty.
