Rapport Building

Who wants to meet with a therapist and delve in to all of the problems at the forefront? Not me. For this reason, initial sessions are intentionally geared towards the development of rapport— getting to know each other. The biggest contributing factor related to whether a person progresses in treatment, is linked to their alliance with their therapist. If a person does not like their therapist, or if their therapist makes them feel uncomfortable, it is highly unlikely that they will gain what it is they came in search of.

Insight Oriented

As we work together, I will aim to help you identify new ways of looking at your situation. Questions will be posed to aid you in perspective taking, as well as with reflecting on the way in which you see yourself, and others.

Trauma Focused

It is safe to say that if you are alive, you have encountered some sort of trauma. Some unexpected change, disappointment, heartache, loss, violation. The bulk of my experience lies in helping children, youth, and adults with processing traumatic experiences. I will aid you in discovering tools to cope, as you grieve the loss of what life once was, while preparing for the good that is to come.
