My communication style
I draw from a variety of methods to create a tailored approach for each individual and situation. As a therapist, I am warm, open, encouraging, and direct. I consider myself an active therapist, combining experience, education, creativity, and sense of humor with a down-to-earth, realistic approach to counseling.
My first session with you
Our first session would center around getting to know you better; discuss any recent changes in your life, and the impact of these changes. This will provide me with a better understanding of why you have reached out for support. We will complete our first session with developing a goal, and discussing any questions/concerns you may have.
