What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Being open minded, having a positive outlook, having a solution focused mindset while remaining authentic in the moment.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with adults that are struggling with navigation through life transitions. Whether the transitions be jobs, moving locations, parenthood or divorce.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Integrative
Integrative allows individualistic approaches for therapy depending upon each clients needs.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
ACT allows space for no judgment or expectations of anyone which allows opportunity for compassion.
Humanistic
Is a person centered approach that allows the client to direct the pace and flow of their therapy.
Psychodynamic
This treatment approach allows for exploration into history of trauma and experiences that create perspectives we have. I like tapping into this approach at times because it brings enlightenment to current situations.
