A bit about my approach to therapy

It is my belief that forming a trusting, supportive and honest relationship with clients is essential. Treatment modalities are utilized according to the symptom picture presented. Forward movement is predicated on agreed upon goals and objectives.

What you can expect from our first session

By active listening and creating a non-threatening environment, goals are created by the client which would result in realistic outcomes.
