I use a variety of therapeutic tools to empower you to navigate through your life challenges that negatively impact your mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.

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

During the first session, we will get to know and develop a trusting relationship. In the first session, I will gather valuable information that will help me know why you came to therapy and gain insight into what is causing your distress. Talking about some of these things can open the floodgates of past hurts, traumas and disappointment. Yet, be mindful that this is necessary for me to obtain valuable information to address your symptoms. And remember, I’m here with and for you. HIPAA Privacy Rights and Laws and Patient Care/Patient Confidentially as well as Duty to Warn will be discussed. We will discuss your insurance coverage, the number of sessions that are authorized, and your current medications.
