To me the forefront of a good therapeutic alliance between client and therapist is a safe space where clients are able to express themselves freely without fear of judgment. First and foremost, I feel my job is to actively listen. With longitudinal sessions, I will begin by catching up on any important events or stressors you would like to address since our last meeting. I always want to make sure we are in alignment so we know how to best spend our time in order to meet your needs. I treat and help clients focus on symptoms and goals rather than treating a diagnosis. We will work together to identify your goals and work on developing a set of coping skills to help give you your best chance of success moving forward.
