Get to know me

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

The first session I want to get to know you and what you expect from therapy. What type of therapist are you looking for? What do you expect from therapy? What is your understanding of therapy? What are your treatment goals? Questions such as those is just a brief overview of what I will be asking you during our initial session. I want to make sure that you feel comfortable with me and that I understand exactly what you want and need. At the end of the first session we will both talk and see if you would like to continue with me as your therapist.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am bubbly and a people person who uses humor and empathy to get others to spill their thoughts and emotions in session. I treat my clients as people not as "just another disorder" or "just another client", so I am flexible with working with people because I know life happens and things will sometimes spill over into our sessions or cause a shift in goals. I use an eclectic treatment modality because in my experience not one modality will perfectly fit a client so I will tailor your treatment to you and your goals. With my clients I develop a therapeutic relationship that allows them to feel seen, comfortable to be vulnerable, and in control of their goals.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

If you have even a small desire to change then we can work together to develop skills that you can utilize to help you get through day to day life and grow your motivation for change. I work at the pace of my clients so we will go as slow or as fast as you want there will be some rare times in which I will push you a little bit out of your comfort zone but I will be there as you try new skills or activities. I am also very big on communication if you communicate with me in advance to a session about needing to change things around or cancel things such as that than I am flexible person.
