MY THERAPY FOCUS

I view clients as experts on themselves. Clients and I work collaboratively to identify the focus and scope of treatment. We then utilize evidence-based practices to work toward achieving client goals.

Testing is used at the beginning and throughout the therapeutic process to assess needs as well as progress. The responses that clients provide yield important information about the therapeutic experience and effectiveness of the services.

FREE CONSULTATION

I offer all potential clients a free telephone consultation to determine whether we are a good fit. Please feel free to message or call me to set up a free 15-minute consultation.
