What should a new client know about working with you?
When we first start, I will ask a lot of questions to try to understand what we need to focus on in treatment. As we progress in treatment, you will learn about your unhelpful thinking habits and how to adjust them. The goal is to help you live a happy and productive life.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
As your therapist, I will listen to your story and help you figure out what you can and want to change. I will also teach you how to identify your unhelpful thinking habits. I will work with you to develop tailored therapeutic interventions to assist you in overcoming your challenges.

He has a very gentle approach, which can be beneficial for those like myself who are timid about talk therapy. He was a great listener and made me feel very comfortable sharing about my past and current issues.

I was so nervous going into my appointment. I feel so guilty laying my problems out onto anyone. He knew exactly how to help. He really takes the time & effort to understand you. I feel so great about our appointment. Thank you doc!
