My approach to therapy
I like to create a calm and relaxed atmosphere. I tend to use humor in my approach as well as challenging my clients thoughts of beliefs as a way to give a perspective they might not have considered.
What you can expect from me
The first session is spent mostly on getting to know one another. I try to make sessions feel like you are catching up with an old friend you haven’t seen in awhile.
