“I customize my approach for every client because each person’s needs, personality, and goals are unique. There are several theories that are interwoven in the process including Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral, REBT, and Narrative. Although I am theory based in my technique it should be and most often is invisible to you; our interactions should just feel comfortable and effective. It is common for my clients to say they feel supported and encouraged to tackle challenges they were not ready to face in the past. I named my business Insight because of the pattern in my clients’ feedback that their sessions with me provided insight and with this new way of seeing they were able to accomplish more.”
It is important for you to feel comfortable with and like the style/approach of the person you choose to do your growth work with therefore I offer a complimentary telephone meeting for you to assess if I am the right fit for you and what you want to accomplish. There is no obligation with this free conversation and often it is just enough to get you started in a new direction. I can be reached at 571-207-0108.
