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

During the first session therapy objectives are identified through an inviting, conversational atmosphere concluding with both short term and long term solution focused recommendations. We will discuss elements of a comprehensive treatment plan which is personalized and unique to your clinical needs. Most importantly, significant effort will be provided into understanding how your personal history has impacted your patterns of thinking and feeling. In conclusion, success will be defined in practical terms, thus providing a measure to ensure that the therapy process is effective and productive.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I find it fulfilling to be able to contribute to the well being and positive growth of others. I believe that mental and emotional distress can interfere with those personal goals that are important to an individual's self fulfillment. My philosophy of conceptualizing symptoms of emotional distress as tangible elements that can be practically addressed and resolved; allows clients to realize that they have much more control over feeling better and living healthier. This process is professionally rewarding for me, and I view myself as a guide in my client's journey toward realizing their true individual potential.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My clinical approach fits particularly well with the needs of adolescents and young adults who are navigating life adjustments and psych-social changes as the development of flexible thinking allows for adaptive growth and healthier coping.
