During my first session, I review the limitations of confidentiality and give a brief overview of my therapy style. Then we explore the reasons for seeking therapy and the client's personal goals for therapy. Lastly, I try to leave each and every client with a sense of hope that things can get better.
One of my greatest strengths is my ability to create a safe, non-judgmental environment in which my clients can thrive. I believe in the innate goodness and worth of all my clients and, as a result, am able to capitalize on each person's unique strengths. I am known to be insightful allowing me to quickly home in on the core issues which often has the effect of reducing the overall time needed in therapy. I teach simple skills which are easy to apply to life's everyday challenges. I keep therapy conversational and informal, yet thought-provoking. I respect the autonomy of my clients to make their own decisions while offering them continual support and validation.
