Clients I work with will present with a wide array of challenges, some of which include anxiety, depression, relational issues, and life transitions. While each client is unique, all clients are looking for change in some capacity. My job is to help my client(s) identify what is not working for them and instead explore what life looks like in absence of the problem(s).
My ultimate goal is to help individuals/couples/families to set goals, solve problems, define situations, identify and manage feelings, and improve relationships. I firmly believe the client is the expert on their own life and that WE must work together to determine how to proceed with therapy treatment.
Whether you have participated in therapy previously or this is your first experience, I want you to feel comfortable, emotionally safe, and supported while you work with me. I offer a judgement free space where you will feel empowered to achieve the goals you set.
