If you are looking for a therapist who will spend time figuring out your personal needs- whether that is how we work together or what specific mode of treatment works best for you- I believe that I may be a good fit for you. I have spent my years as a therapist both keeping abreast of all of the most up-to-date approaches to care, but more importantly, I continue to challenge myself as an individual to consider the needs of the people and world around me so that I may offer the best treatment possible. Mental healthcare is my passion, and I pride myself on not only providing a high quality of care, but also being a therapist that my clients can look to expect a close and collaborative relationship. Therapy can be challenging, but it also can be a time to enjoy being able to focus on you alone in a warm and supportive environment.

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

In your first session, you can expect to be put at ease. Trust me- I understand how hard this first step can be! I love to use a bit of humor to make my clients feel as comfortable as possible. I will use this time to get to know as much as I can about you and what brings you to therapy, and possibly let you know a bit about me, too. My goal is to make your experience as easy as possible while building towards establishing your goals for treatment.

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

I excel at building rapport with my clients. I also pride myself at keeping on top of all of the newest treatment modalities, and I am continuously seeking out all of the latest information available on mental health and social topics. I believe strongly in psychoeducation so that my clients can also be well-informed and empowered in their own treatment both in session and the outside world. I am able to work with a very diverse clientele- including both ethnic a racial minorities or religious groups, as well as gender and sexual minorities.
