Background and approach
Tory tailors the plan to each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Her background includes seven years of professional experience in social work. That time has involved helping people sort out communication problems, commitment concerns, and issues around life purpose.
She also has experience with aging and geriatric matters, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and multicultural concerns. Tory draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and solution-focused work. Those methods are used to build skills, challenge unhelpful thinking, and set realistic goals.
The emphasis is on small, practical changes that can make daily life easier. She describes her role as supportive and empowering. Tory works with people who want to take steps toward healing, greater self-love, and clearer direction.
Conversations are paced to match each person's needs and goals.
