Get to know me

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

I operate from a collaborative, direct, down to earth approach when meeting with clients. At the first session I will be very interested in learning from you the issues you are facing and what led you to seek therapy. Together we can then formulate a treatment plan to guide our therapeutic process. From the very first intake meeting I will provide guidance in techniques for regulating any negative emotions you may be experiencing to allow healing to begin from the very start of our relationship.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

In spite of my many years of experience in practice, I have the ability to view each client as a unique individual. I love being a therapist and as a part of this I am eager to learn about each new client's particular life experience and to work with them on methods to address their challenges. Because of my exposure to many situations over the years I have the ability to work with intense emotions and to hear difficult narratives. This allows my clients to feel safe in expressing authentically the aspects of their lives they may not have felt they could openly discuss before.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I especially enjoy working with clients who are experiencing anxiety and depression. It is very rewarding to guide them through the process of learning to regulate their emotions and move to an improved quality of life when they were previously simply struggling through their days. I strive to assist them in embodying an inner core of emotional strength to draw upon and to learn to stand in their own power as they meet the challenges which come their way.
