My approach to therapy

Interpersonal. I am trained in both psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. However, I am flexible and base my approach on the needs of the client.

What you can expect from me

During the first session I usually take a careful history and then ask the client what brings them to therapy at this time. I try to create a welcoming environment and together we establish therapeutic goals.
