We work with you based on your individuality, feelings, thoughts and unique situation. You are seen as a whole person and not just a diagnosis. We offer a flexible, relaxed, nonjudgmental and compassionate approach that serves to help a wide variety of people and their situations. We work with people in many situations and circumstances.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Models I find helpful for my clients include Structural, Strategic, Cognitive Behavioral

Treatment, Narrative and some Hypnosis. I incorporate tools from other models such as Solution Focused therapy. I also am a believer of thinking outside of the psychological box.

I am always willing to research/explore techniques in order to find what will help my clients to achieve their goals.

What you can expect from our first session

A sense of being heard without judgment.

Acceptance.

Hope that they can get relief from feeling as though there is something wrong with them and there is no relief from their pain.

Tools and techniques to help relieve negative and emotionally destructive feelings, thoughts and actions.

Hope that there is truly help to attain happiness and a more positive self.

Answers and positive results.
