What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
From the first session on we will develop goals for areas you want help in. You will learn skills that will help you overcome your problems. Periodically, we will determine if you are meeting your goals.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize Cognitive-Behavorial Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I provide an emotionally safe place built on trust. I am warm, genuine, non-judgmental and down to earth.
