I am a licensed clinical psychologist. I have worked with clients presenting with a variety of therapy concerns. I work with clients on helping them identify the concerns they would like to work on. We come up with therapy goals to help address those concerns. We discuss how to address those goals and how to prioritize those goals so that we can work on things in a manageable manner.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we will have brief introductions and then begin talking about what has brought you to therapy. This will give me an idea on what to focus on in follow-up sessions with you so that we can begin to put together a plan for addressing the things that have brought you here.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I think two things about me that help me help my clients are that I am a good listener, and I can work in collaboration with my clients to identify what can be set up to help them address their needs.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy working with clients who feel they are ready for therapy and are ready to talk about their concerns. Working with people who can work on things in a gradual manner and who are open to making changes in aspects of their lives are people I work best with. We will look at different things in your life that may be connected to the issues you bring to therapy, and clients who can look at the "big picture" with my assistance would be good matches to me.
