Get to know me

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and a discussion about confidentiality, then begin to discuss your current concerns and reasons for seeking therapy. I will gather background information to begin to understand your specific situation. We will set your initial goals for therapy the specific challenges you're facing and begin to develop rapport and ensure that this is a good fit. I offer a custom approach for each of my clients. Helping people live a better life is my passion. I believe there is hope and there are answers. I can provide therapeutic tools to help. It might mean learning to set boundaries, working through a loss, trauma, or life transition or helping you change a pattern of behavior that is keeping you stuck.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have 35 years of experience in working with a variety of issues to draw from in our work together. I create a safe, nonjudgmental environment that encourages trust and openness to enable clients to explore their thoughts and feelings. I develop personalized treatment plans for each client which are tailored to their unique needs. I use an eclectic mix of tools and approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Psychodynamic Therapy, as well as many others, based on experience to help you meet your goals so that you can take the next step on the journey to wellness. My goal is to help you feel better so you can live the life you’ve always dreamed of! I hope to have the opportunity to work together soon to help you reach the next chapter of a happier and healthier life. Contact me today to schedule and we’ll get started on your journey together either meeting in-person or via virtual appointments to suit your schedule.
