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

I think finding out what has brought someone to counseling is always a good place to begin. Understanding someone's priorities and circumstances, what they've tried and how successful it's been, looking at the resources they have to deal with things, it offers a lot of insight into someone's life in a pretty short amount of time. Making connections, asking questions and sort of deconstructing things to get a better understanding of the bigger picture, then looking at plans, things to work on over the coming week and iterating through that process. That's the gist of what I do!

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Well, I'm probably too humble to say that I'm relatively intelligent, analytical, and that I possess an offbeat sense of humor that some clients really enjoy. Plus, I have the self-awareness not to deploy that when clients don't appreciate it. :)

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I think I work best with clients who enjoy considering different perspectives. Working through life transitions, dealing with relational conflict, overcoming emotional dysregulation... I think they're all things I enjoy helping people work on. I think if someone is accountable and looking at how thing can change, rather than how to make other change, there's potential for success.
