I believe that it is a privilege to hold space for people seeking help for their mental health and/or life circumstances. It is incredibly hard to ask for help from a stranger and I have nothing but respect for those who do. I have no agendas as a therapist. My only concern is to meet you where you are at.

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

I seek to create a safe space for the intake process. I will ask questions about your history and ask about your symptoms. You will tell me what you want to work on in therapy and we will come up with a strategy. I will also inform you of my policies and allow you to ask any questions you might have.

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

I am an authentic person. I am a passionate supporter of empowerment and change. I am honest and transparent. I don't unnecessarily pathologize client's behaviors. I consistently form strong therapeutic relationships with my clients. I find that I am skilled at helping people relax in session due to my approach. I use humor appropriately, I interact with my clients, I don't sit there in silence. I want the best for all my clients, so I am always willing to admit when I am not an expert at something and will help you find another provider.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Clients who seem to connect with me tend to have a sense of humor, are open minded, creative, and have a willingness to challenge their unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. I seek to create a partnership. I work best with young adult to middle age groups. The issues that I work best with are: trauma, codependency, life transitions, grief, adult children of substance users, women's issues, depression and anxiety.
