I'm licensed as a marriage and family therapist in North Carolina and California that works with individuals from adolescence through adulthood on a broad variety of issues. I've been working in the social services field for approximately 20 years and I have an eclectic style of therapy that is centered around a variety of modalities including CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy among others.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to listen to and understand the perspectives of my clients. I operate without judgement with the goal of improving and enriching my client's experience of life.
An initial session is typically different from subsequent sessions in my practice as it is a launching point for the ongoing therapeutic relationship. I'll work with you to obtain background information regarding the reasons a client is seeking treatment and what contributing factors may be present. I'll conduct a brief risk assessment as well as provide information regarding confidentiality and its acceptations. Treatment goals will be established and I'll offer an opportunity for the client to ask any questions about who I am and what makes me tick.
