I am a down to earth person who enjoys both simple and serious conversation. I come into session with an inquisitive open mind, and utilize a CBT modality. I also find that the best sessions I have with individuals, are both challenging and affirming of peoples individual struggles.
I enjoy CBT with my clients by assisting them in acknowledging the emotions and understanding where they derive from. I further enjoy watching self advocacy and client development as our sessions progress.
An environment of getting to know each other and developing good rapport is paramount to the therapeutic process. I often will encourage clients to start the 1st session off by taking ownership of what they would like me to know first.
