I want to work on what is important to the clients. I see the client/therapist relationship as one of collaboration. I am not the expert on you; you are. I believe in empowering clients to believe in their ability to make real and sustainable change.
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20 years of experience in the field. I work from a systems perspective with a strong focus on attachment and relationships. I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist as well. I obtained this certification 10 years ago and focus on treatment for the addict, spouse and couple. My work experience includes the community as well as with active-duty military.
Our first session is about getting to know each other a little bit. I want to learn about your current expectations and your previous experiences with therapy. I will also give you more information about how I do things. We will discuss your current concerns and reasons for coming to therapy. If it feels like a good fit, we will proceed with some discussion around goals and further assessment.
