My approach to therapy
I start where my clients are. I support them to process their own thoughts and encounters to provide insight into the challenges they are faced with. I empower my clients to remember that they are the experts of their own story and life and I am there to help guide them to overcome challenges and probe through the difficult moments to gain an improved understanding of their life stressors.
What you can expect from me
In the first session, we will review the “why” why therapy. I want the client to understand and help me as the therapist to understand the need for therapy. I intend to review background information that will be useful in the therapeutic journey. I also want the clients to feel comfortable. I will build rapport to establish and understand of what therapy is and how it will work for them.
