In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we will briefly introduce ourselves to each other. From there, we will move on to discussing the issues that brought you into therapy. One thing you need to know about my practice: While I am dedicated to listening, I am also a big believer in action. We can't simply "redo" the same session over and over again. And while I will never "push", I will always make sure that you understand that once an issue is discovered, action must follow. To do otherwise is to just continue resigned to your fate.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I specialize in treatment for ADHD, anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma. As part of my approach, we will delve into family history, childhood experiences and traumas to develop a better sense of how you came to believe what you now accept as "truth." But is it really your "emotional truth"? Is that "truth" holding you back from being the "authentic you"? That's what we will discover! As we build our understanding and acceptance of the "authentic you" , we can begin to formulate a set of goals for areas identified for change to allow for personal growth. That's how we challenge beliefs that do not work and hold us back and not allow us to grow which is so basic and necessary for life. That is how we grow. Helping you find that inner strength and resolve is what makes me uniquely qualified to help.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

When you step into my office, the most powerful tool you’re bringing with you isn't just your story—it’s your personal motivation to see things change. I often tell my clients that while I’m here to help navigate, you’re the one behind the wheel. The "ideal" experience happens when you’re truly ready to take ownership of your growth, showing up with the courage to be honest and vulnerable even when it feels a bit messy. This internal spark is what keeps you going during those weeks when the work feels heavy. When we build that kind of strong therapeutic connection, it creates a safe space where real, lasting transformation can actually take root. To make sure we aren’t just spinning our wheels, I find it’s so helpful when we collaborate on clear goals together. Think of this as our "main objective" or "North Star"; they keep us focused so you don't feel overwhelmed by everything all at once. Whether we’re using SMART goals to tackle specific anxieties or just defining what a "better day" looks like for you, having a roadmap makes the process feel much more manageable. Reaching those small milestones isn't just about "checking a box"—it’s about proving to yourself that you’re capable of change, which builds the confidence you need to keep moving forward.
