Congratulations on your decision to start therapy! Whether this is your first time or you're a seasoned veteran, you've chosen to give yourself the gift that keeps on giving: personal growth. With the right provider, you'll learn valuable skills and tools to carry with you throughout your life. You'll feel seen, heard, and respected. You will also gain perspective and a deeper understanding of who you are and what motivates you. I would be honored to partner with you on this journey.

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

Our first session will focus on what brings you to therapy. We'll talk about the issue(s) you've been experiencing and why you chose this time to seek support. Together, we'll begin to craft goals so we can focus our work on accomplishing what's most important to you.

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

I have a real knack for getting to the root(s) of an issue. Over the years, I've become an expert at asking -- not just the hard questions -- but the right ones. I foster a judgment-free space for discussion, which helps clients feel safe and comfortable talking about the past, present, and future.

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

Therapy doesn't happen by accident. Getting to this point requires an ability to self-reflect and the courage to admit that things could be better. Finding the right provider for you will require honesty and authenticity. Applying what you learn in therapy to daily life will require a commitment to consistency. If you're up to this challenge, I'm here to help.
