The initial session focuses on rapport building, completing intake process, gathering background information, and identifying goals for therapy.
I often use an integrated approach of MRI, Family Systems Therapy, and SFBT. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With an integrated approach, we examine the interactional cycle of the problems, reflect on steps to create differentiation and gain insight. Then find solutions for change and empowerment.
I enjoy working with children, families, and couples. I build empathy through listening, collaboration, and exploring clients' goals for therapy. Therapy can be comfortable as well as uncomfortable. Therapy involves examining issues you are already aware of, but also what is in the unconscious that will become known. So, therapy will provide resolution, while expanding insight about oneself. Therefore, it is important to be consistent in following through with therapy to realize your goals. I am committed to working with you to realize your goals. To find your potential! To become empowered! To live your best life!
I work from a strength base perspective, whereby I acknowledge that your are the expert on your life experiences and I am expert on the process in assist clients to realize established and emerging goals. We collaborate in ensuuring that your voice is heard and respected.
