My approach to therapy is a both goal oriented and client centered. I strive to have the patient drive what we are working on and discussing, but I also try to follow up and focus on the goals that you set in therapy, so that in the end you feel that you are getting something out of our sessions.

​

My first appointments with new clients are typically spent understanding what brought you to meeting with me, a snapshot of your life right now and setting up some goals for therapy. Clients often come away from these initial sessions feeling heard, having the space to talk about what they need, but also learning some coping techniques that they can practice between sessions. We will also identify strengths, what’s working well in your life, and the things that can be changed to get you to where you want to be. I strive to go at your pace, so if you need time to open up or are ready to dive right in, I am able to be flexible.

​

After the assessment process, we will set some goals for therapy. Depending on what those goals are, it will drive the modality that we will use in our sessions together. At times, therapy can be hard, but my goal is to try to teach you the tools so that you have coping techniques to manage difficult emotions that may come up. My ultimate goal is for you develop the skills and tools that you can use to have the life that you desire.
