My approach to therapy

I utilize treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, and Reality Therapy.

What you can expect from me

The first therapy session can feel like a source of anxiety for some clients. If you are feeling anxious about your first therapy session, that's normal. My goal as your therapist for the first session is to get to know you and for you to see if you feel comfortable with me. Following the first session we will discuss your goals regarding what you want to get out of therapy. After we have worked together for a while you will have a clearer understanding on how you want to grow in your life.
