Get to know me

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

My first session is spent getting to know you and how we can work together and reach your therapeutic goals. I appreciate that time and money are not unlimited resources for most people, so I aim to help clients accomplish their goals efficiently and effectively. Building a strong therapeutic relationship and establishing trust are the cornerstones of effective therapy. I see therapists as vehicles to empower and encourage clients, helping them find the validation they need to inspire change and reach their goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am creative with how i praqctice and I am open to designing programs that are curtailed and unique to each client. I am trained in family systems therapy and often incorporate an understanding of family history and generational patterns into my work. However, I also recognize that for some clients, focusing on the here and now with short-term goals can be more practical. I integrate different modalities based on each client's needs and preferences, including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, meditation, and my personal favorite—solution-focused therapy.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I have experience working with all kinds of people with various needs and concerns. I welcome you to give me a try and determine if my approach and style is a good fit for you. I believe in encouraging and empowering my clients to effectively use their own strengths and skills to improve their lives and relationships. We all have areas that can use a little improvement, and the key is to maximize strengths to compensate for weaknesses. My approach is client-centered, and I utilize several different therapeutic modalities based on what works best for each individual.
