About me as a therapist
People often express feeling peace around me. I am perceptive, analytical, intuitive and resourceful. My approach is strength-based, collaborative, and compassionate rooted in the belief that clients are the best experts on their own lives. Part of my strength is developing a deep understanding of each unique situation; explore and implement strategies to help clients reach their goals while respecting their autonomy and self-determination.
About my therapy sessions
In the first session, we will get to know each other, what brought you to therapy. We will review and complete a therapy agreement. We will do further assessment to clarify your goals and explore possible pathways to reaching them. Our aim at the end of the first session is to have clarity on the main issues causing your problem, your therapy goals and the tasks we will undertake to resolve your issues and reach your goals.
