My personal style is gentle and affirming. I see my role as supportive rather than authoritative, and my goal is to get you to a point where you no longer need me. For me, being a therapist is a privilege, and nothing feels better than knowing that I've helped someone reach their goals.
Therapy with me usually starts with a discussion of your goals. Together, we'll talk about how we might reach those goals, and we'll come up with a plan to get there. Usually, this includes teaching you a combination of coping skills, communication skills, and problem-solving skills. We'll then have you go out in the world, practice your new skills, and then report back on how it went. The process is both collaborative and adaptive.
