About

My approach Cognitive Behavioral Psychodynamic My focus Ages 12 and above The conditions are work with are numerous, however, the basic patient conditions are anxiety, depression, PTSD. My communication style The atmosphere I provide is warm and trusting without judgement. I allow the client to tell me their story without interruption. If I feel they need more help or direction it is provided. My journey to therapy The helping professional has always allured. It felt like a natural and nice way to spend one's time in a career. There was also a desire to find out more about myself and what drives my own behavior. In addition, there was also a need to improve myself and be a compassionate and understanding human being. My goals for you Once I feel that we have a collaborative relationship I like to discuss what and how their goals might be reached in a timely manner. A timely manner is whatever is reasonable based on their past history. My first session with you A warm and friendly collaborative first meeting without pressure to divulge a great deal of information about themselves. In the beginning of the first session, I like to listen to the client tell me why they are here in whatever manner they choose to do so.
