MY APPROACH
My therapeutic approach includes a variety of different techniques which are selected based on the client’s presenting concern. I have received specific training in play therapy techniques and interventions. I am currently in the process of working towards becoming a registered play therapist. The therapeutic approaches I am most influenced by include Solution Focused, Narrative, Cognitive Behavioral, Adlerian, and General System Theory.
I examine all environments and relationships that form who an individual or family are and find solutions for the desired change in overall wellness and mental health. I believe clients can experience change and growth. I provide and environment that is comfortable, welcoming, and free of judgement. My goal for my clients is to feel valued and understood as we collaboratively work through therapeutic goals.
