I’m a therapist with more than 10 years experience in the field, in a wide variety of different settings. I prefer to utilize a Person-Centered, Solution-Focused perspective in providing treatment, and I'm highly practiced in a variety of CBT-based techniques. I'm happy to speak at length with patients about childhood traumas, their subconscious needs, and the impact of family upbringing on their adult lives- but that doesn't have to be therapy!
Through a non-judgement approach I work with individuals to identify issues presenting the greatest barriers to overall well-being and achievement of goals, assisting in developing real-world, practical strategies for addressing and overcoming these concerns. An initial appointment might involve an informal discussion, introducing the therapy process and identifying problem areas most in need of clinical attention.
Despite the serious language, I prefer to use a grounded, humor-based style in building a relationship with individuals- I think therapy can only be useful when therapist and client are on the same page and comfortable building a working rapport for treatment.
Expect an honest conversation on whatever terms work for you; therapy doesn't have to be 60 minutes of fancy psychology talk being directed at you- this is not a college lecture. If you're struggling with something; no matter what it is, we can have an honest conversation about realistic solutions that can help immediately in day-to-day life
