My Approach to Therapy

My approach to therapy includes a collaborative effort between you, your support team, and myself! I will work within your interests to create goals and sessions that are engaging, individualized to your needs, and easy to generalize skills taught in therapy to other settings!

What A Typical Session Looks Like With Me

Sessions will typically begin with a check in or a mindfulness activity. Our headspace going into therapy can make or break the mood so its vital we tailor activities to where you are in the moment. Activities take a multimodal approach: some days we will do video models, games, reading passages, interviews, or roleplay scenarios! Finally, we address your communication needs, your attitude towards communication, and more topics at the end.

Fun Facts About Paul

I am a huge gamer! From board games to video games to table top RPGs, I love how engaging and easy it is to see the importance of speech and language skills outside of therapy. I am also trying new cooking recipes, places to hike, and books to read!
