What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach to therapy is warm and laid back. However, I will use a direct approach when needed. I want you to feel comfortable enough after a few sessions to share your deepest feelings. I use humor and laugh a little when needed :) I use a direct, solution focused approach and meet YOU where you are at.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

The first session is a 60 minute intake to gather information about your life and what your symptoms looks like. After the first 2 sessions, together we will create a treatment plan and have goals to work towards.
