Get To Know Me
What is your style/approach to therapy?
My style is comfortable yet engaging. My approach to therapy draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, as well as Trauma-Informed Approaches. I always want patients to feel comfortable and safe in therapy. I am collaborative and we decide on treatment goals together. I am open to feedback from patients on what is working best for them to reach their therapy goals. I tend to have a sense of humor and want patients to feel like they are engaging more in a conversation with their therapist. I am also goal-oriented and solution-focused. I focus on short-term treatment outcomes yet provide space and longer durations of treatment to process trauma or grief responses. I like for patients to take away something from each session that adds to their recovery or insight into themselves or the relationships in their lives.
