Deciding that you are ready for therapy does not mean that you have to commit to months or years of therapy. Often, clients begin to feel some kind of symptom relief after just a few sessions of therapy. I work at meeting my clients where they are in their process of understanding what is going on for them. I work with my clients to identify strengths and resiliency. One of the greatest gifts that I get as a therapist is being able to observe objectively what is going on in your life, and hold a mirror up to some of the faulty belief patterns that we all have. I end my sessions asking my client what points or nuggets do they want to take away from our meeting, and will often give homework to help build on these observations.

I engage my clients in a very client centered, strengths based approach. What this means is that focus of the sessions will be on you and where you are in your process at all times. We call that "meeting the client where they are at". I also operate from a strengths based approach, which means we will be identifying and building on the strengths and skills that you already have with in you. I also utilize many cognitive-behavioral techniques and interventions which can help you with the integration of mindful thought/feeling/behavior sequences to help lessen anxiety or depression, and deal with trauma. Finally, I also employ narrative techniques to help you realize a new narrative for yourself from a healthy vantage point.
