After our first session, which will consist mostly of my asking questions to get to know you and to assess your needs, we will work together to develop a treatment plan, which will address the goals that the client would like to achieve in therapy. During each session, we will discuss your thoughts, feelings, and concerns, and I will help you to explore what is behind those concerns. We will look at your life experience and current situation, and how they all affect the person that you are. We will then work on how you can use your strengths, coping skills, and to learn new strategies to deal with your concerns. It is my hope that you leave each session with the feeling that you were supported and that you obtained information that is beneficial to you.

I believe strongly in using a client-centered strengths approach, where clients can use their strengths to help them to better address the issues in their lives. Additionally, I use person-in-environment as well as solution-focused treatment methods. However, my most prevalent treatment method is Cognitive-Behavior Therapy. These treatment methods are evidence-based and shown to be effective with specific issues. In assessing a client’s, needs, I will use the treatment method which I believe meets those needs.
