I'm here to provide an encouraging experience where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly while working towards your goals. As a provider, I am supportive, validating, and focused on you. Within this framework, I am also honest and direct, qualities I find many people appreciate in a therapeutic relationship. I think of therapy as a tool that can get you to a new way of thinking or out of a rut. Therapy can also be hard work, but that doesn't mean it has to be a hard time. I've been in the field long enough to know how normal having problems is. The people I work with appreciate that therapy can be a place to laugh, cry, and sometimes both at the same time. Life is weird, but having help can help.

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

Our first time meeting, we'll spend time exploring what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. I'll also explain what therapy with me typically looks like, including goal-setting. The pace is completely yours – you can take your time and ask questions, or if you're ready to dive in, we can start gathering some information about your background to kickstart the process. Consider this first session an opportunity to get to know each other and see if we're a good fit. There's no pressure to make any decisions right away.

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

One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is the ability to listen attentively and pick up on underlying themes or emotions you might not even realize are there. I excel at listening beyond the surface level and reflecting back what I hear in a way that fosters deeper understanding and helps you connect the dots in your own story. Working together, we can explore these deeper meanings to gain valuable insights and create a path towards positive change.
