My approach to therapy
Clients in the past have called me a "hardass" (and thanked me for it) because I call BS when I hear it, and I expect my clients to work harder than me in their own healing. My clients describe me as perceptive, direct, no BS, curious, safe, weird, relatable, and easy to open up to.
What you can expect from me
I utilize EMDR with talk therapy to help clients process whatever may be holding them back. I strive to create a safe environment for my clients and use a more conversational approach. My goal is to help my clients successfully graduate from therapy.
