My therapy and assessment styles are relational; so if you do not vibe with me, I will help you find another therapist. I use a trauma-informed and affirming approach. I do this by trying to create safety in our interactions, remembering that you are the expert in your life, focusing on empowerment, and seeking correction and feedback. I also use an evidence and strength-based approach to improve areas that need development.
After a first session, clients should have a greater understanding of their distress. feel more relaxed, and have at least one suggested way to reduce their distress.
