My approach
My approach to providing therapy is to make sure that our relationship is at the helm. Because I use the Gestalt approach, I work in the here and now. Bringing what is in our past to the present day and seeing how that impacts our behaviors.
My focus
I typically work with Adults and teenagers.
My communication style
I am honest and direct, I like for my clients to feel confident enough to challenge me if necessary.
My journey to mental healthcare
I love seeing the change in the client. Once change happens, it is like a whirlwind. That drives me to continue to do this work.
My goals for you
Goal setting is a collaborative approach between me and the client. We determine the goal and how to approach said goal.
My first session with you
The first session consists of me trying to get to know the client. Expect many questions to be asked with respect and understanding that not everything will be said.
