(she/her)
I only provide telehealth at this time. I accept adjustment issues, life transitions, grief, mood or anxiety. I will be open and honest with you about what I can and cannot do for you within the confines of telehealth. I use the first session to determine that this is going to be a good fit for both of us. Therapy is very much about a good fit between two people and the right techniques. I intentionally keep a small caseload so I can give you the time without being preoccupied by keeping up volume. My availability is limited, so I can only accept mild to moderate mental health concerns. I am happy to direct you to more appropriate resources or providers if we aren't a good match. I see intake as a mutual interview for both of us to learn about each other and decide if we want to continue a therapeutic relationship. In the interest of helping you get the best care possible, I ask that you seek in-person treatment if you struggle with a thought disorder, substance abuse, partner/relationship violence, or other safety concerns. I also do not take court or DCF mandated treatment cases via telehealth. I also do not specialize in divorce or child custody matters. While I am knowledgeable in these areas, I believe the best care is in-person.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I take the time to get to know you . I am going to ask about many aspects of your life. I want a clear picture of not only who you are but what you are expecting to get from our time. In return, I will help create a plan with you for how you will meet your goals. In the event that I am not the best fit for your therapeutic journey, I will be honest with you about that early on and help direct you.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am a provider with many years of experience to draw from in order to help you. My private practice is just one aspect of what I do. I am also knowledge in some of the state's resources if there's something I can't address. I will also be honest with you if I am not certain this is the most effective way to proceed. I am able to see progress and strengths in places that are not always obvious to others. I like to work with people whom I genuinely believe are going to benefit from my approach as well as a telehealth relationship. I have worked with a wide range of mental health and family constellations to have a sense of who is likely do be the most successful in this venue. I am more interested in seeing you get the help you deserve than holding on to people for financial gain. I am a believer in quality rather than quantity.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I prefer to see individuals who are at least 18 years old. I enjoy working with young adults through middle age. I will consider minors on a case-by-case basis. There must be at least one actively involved custodial parent. Adults who have life circumstances that don't require crisis intervention or are actively using narcotics or alcohol. Please no mandated treatment requirements or high-risk situations. I am looking for people who are intrinsically motivated for growth and change. I particularly enjoy short term, solution focused treatment, as well as MI and CBT based interventions. I do not offer trauma models but will refer to someone who does if that's a better fit.
