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

You can expect to experience a sense of warmth, empathy, and a non-judgment approach. It is my goal to create an environment of safety and to promote growth for my clients. I have an innate ability to build relationships and to enable my clients to feel comfortable sharing openly. Historically, therapists came from a position of authority or as if they are all knowing. I reject this idea and often work alongside my clients to develop goals which suit the individual. I will utilize my expertise to carve out the most effective route to meet your goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength as a provider is my ability to connect and make others feel heard. The art of active listening involves intently listening without any preconceived notions or bias. I want our sessions to feel like a partnership or collaboration. Therapy involves the "healing relationship" in which old patterns of behaviors and beliefs can be reframed through communication in a non-judgemental, compassionate environment. Our sessions will be a space for you to explore your own ideas and to modify those ideas which are no longer serving you.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best positioned to serve adult clients who struggle with managing life stressors and coping with interpersonal challenges. I believe that people operate at their best when they have a sufficient "why" to provide motivation and passion. I have a history of working with clients with addiction, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and providing couple's counseling. I utilize a variety of approaches including CBT, Logo-therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and a psychoanalytic approach. Ultimately, therapy can not be productive if there is not a strong therapeutic alliance. I feel confident in building such an alliance and through this relationship; change is ultimately possible.
