I want to begin by acknowledging your courage in seeking therapy because it is a significant step toward healing and growth. Whether you are returning to therapy, are seeking a "good fit", or are here for the first time, I'm honored to be a part of this process. My role is to provide you with a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences while I provide that space to listen, to educate, and to empower you. I truly believe that you are the expert in your own life and I am here to guide and support you. I believe that therapy works best when we tailor treatment to fit your needs and will draw from various therapeutic approaches to explore what strategies may help you. I look forward to getting to know you and us working together to help you achieve your goals to find greater fulfillment in your life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is an intake session where I will introduce myself, review confidentiality with you, answer any questions you may have, and explore the reasons for seeking therapy along with therapy goals. This is a chance to see if we are a good fit, address any concerns and uncertainties about the therapeutic process, and clarify expectations for therapy. I look forward to our first meeting!
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I enjoy working with adults, though I find myself particularly drawn to college students and first responders. I find my biggest strengths include my listening skills, empathy and insight into what may be useful with each client. * PLEASE NOTE: I do not work with couples or families. I can only meet with clients who are physically located in California at the time of the session. *
