6 years of experience
- Virtual
- Anxiety, Depression, Family issues, Grief or loss, Trauma

My approach to therapy
My approach to therapy is utilizing Motivational Interviewing to help build rapport during the initial stages of the therapeutic relationship, and to help clients feel safe and comfortable discussing their therapeutic needs.
What you can expect from me
The therapy sessions will focus on the needs of the client, treatment goals and stressors that may be affecting progress toward treatment goals. The take away will be that clients will have new perspectives of their issues, coping skills they can utilize to manage their symptoms and processing any traumas or experiences identified in therapy.
