I currently counsel teens, adults, and older adults with life transitions, career dysphoria, relationship difficulties, and anxiety. I offer compassion, empathy, and life experience. I ask questions, listen and offer skills training. I meet my clients where they are and do not formulate preconceived ideas or strategies to help my clients, rather, I seek to understand their view point, life experiences, and cultural influences into their therapy goals.

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

The first session is spent gathering current mental status, family history, a risk assessment, trauma history, social history, cultural factors, developmental history, previous therapy, spiritual practices, substance use, legal history, educational history, medical history including medications currently used, and history of the presenting problem.

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

Empathic interaction, history of providing mental health care, careful listening, interactive dialogue, curiosity, cultural competency, life experience, and compassion.
