A bit about my approach to therapy

My theoretical orientation is Narrative in nature; however, I also incorporate Person Centered work, CBT, Brief Solution Focus Therapy, Motivational Interview, and other Best Practice Models to address client's specific identified needs.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect to have a safe and confidential space to discuss issues and concerns and the opportunity to explore strategies and interventions to assist clients in accomplishing identified goals.
