What does a first session with you look like?
I like to start building a therapeutic alliance with my client, get a basic understanding of the concerns of the individual that is seeking counseling and like to complete a compressive assessment to assist with this process.
What does success look like in therapy? How will a client know that they are making progress?
I believe Success in therapy is one achieving their goals in therapy.
What is your style/approach to therapy?
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, Solution Focused, motivational interviewing and person-centered counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
