What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The most important factor for me early on is making sure I understand your concerns and comprehensively learn about you so that i can help you achieve your goals.. During the first few sessions I will ask a semi-structured set of questions to learn about you, your presenting concerns and about what your goals in therapy are. I often use metaphors, laughter, and incorporate a direct, respectful, and friendly interpersonal style. You will always feel like you are in control in every session.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I am an integrative therapist which means I draw from a diverse set of theoretical & evidenced based approaches. I offer an affirming, pragmatic, and strength based therapeutic approach to facilitate your well being & desired goals I incorporate a strength based paradigm that focuses on identifying and emphasizing your strengths as we navigate the challenges in your life.
