I have been in the field for many years working with adolescents to seniors in a variety of settings. I’ve worked in private psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, schools, prisons and private practice. Most of my clients experience depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues or relationship struggles. I take a very active approach in therapy as opposed to just listening. I try to modify my approach most suited for the client to facilitate change.

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

In the first session, clients take their time sharing what has brought them to therapy. I am happy to explain what approach I might take. This also allows clients to express any concerns or ask questions to feel more at ease.

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

I think one of my greatest strengths is being nonjudgmental. Clients often feel tremendous shame or guilt over issues. They have remarked feeling at ease that I don’t seem to blink an eye when sharing some difficult issues.
