I have been a Marriage and Family Therapist for the last 13 years working passionately and supportingly with a variety of clients. I have also spent 10 years prior working in different facets of the mental health system such as schools, hospitals, and group homes. Supporting clients to achieve their goals heal and grow is my core goal.
My therapeutic approach is multifaceted dependent upon you and focused on collaboration. From client-centered to cognitive behavioral approaches it is important for you to feel comfortable with working at your pace with managing situations in the now and also processing history that may be affecting your daily functioning.
No matter what type of therapy the client prefers the environment is based individually on the client. I do not press the pace of the session. Normally there's a check in but other than that it depends on the pace the client feels comfortable with for that session.
