My approach to therapy
My approach is to get to know my client first. Based on this, my role is to help my client identify what approach may be best for them. Among the most common for me include CBT, mindfulness, solution focused, and narrative. I believe no session or client is ever the same and look forward to learning about your unique strengths.
What you can expect from me
Clients generally speak of my direct approach and use of humor. Clients typically mention to me that this combination helps them better reflect on their own goals outside of therapy, which then encourages them to continue to work on themselves more diligently.
