How Clients Describe
Working With Me
To cut right to it, and so you get a solid idea of what I am all about, these are the types of things other clients have said when I talk to them about their feedback about our sessions:
→ I am kind and non-judgemental. I help people feel understood and validated.
→ People note that they enjoy my questions because they allow for perspective changes
→ The number of handouts and worksheets I have is a bit absurd (but helpful).
→ I’m open to feedback and not afraid to admit if I’ve made a mistake.
→ If you do the homework, you really will change how you talk to yourself. So many people have come back the next session to tell me they are all ready noticing a difference in how they talk to themselves.
→ I get feedback that people like the structure to my sessions, but appreciate that I’m still flexible if there is something else important to talk about that day.
How I Describe My Approach
I believe therapy should be both compassionate and practical. You deserve a space where you feel understood—and tools that help you create meaningful change.
My approach is collaborative and structured. We start by clarifying your concerns and goals, then develop a focused plan tailored to you. I primarily use evidence-based treatments including TEAM-CBT, DBT-informed skills, and CBT-I for insomnia. Together, we identify patterns that keep you feeling stuck and build skills to respond in more flexible, helpful ways.
Therapy with me is active and goal-oriented. I provide a clear framework and practical strategies, and you practice applying them between sessions so change extends beyond our time together. We also track progress regularly to ensure our work stays effective and aligned with your goals.
My aim is not just symptom relief, but helping you feel more confident, capable, and equipped for lasting well-being.
