Accepting New Clients

Get To Know Me

If there was one thing you wish people knew about the therapy experience who might be hesitant to try it, what would that be?

Therapists will not give you all the answers. My job is not to tell you what to do but rather work collaboratively with you to guide you in making changes in your life. Therapy can be extremely difficult, but if you are invested and motivated, it can be the most life changing experience.

How do you determine therapy goals with clients? What does that process look like?

Therapy goals and treatment planning are a collaborative effort. I work with clients to determine appropriate goals which then guide treatment modalities. During the initial intake session, initial treatment goals will be discussed and identified. As treatment progresses, parodic review of the treatment goals and progress will be discussed with clients. It is important that clients play an active role in their treatment, which starts with identifying goals.
