Get to know me

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

I aim to understand your perspective and support you in accomplishing your goals. Our sessions will feel like natural conversations in which we will work together to explore, learn and grow. Through gentle and accountable questions, psycho-education and skills development I will help you become the best version of yourself. I just ask that you be honest with me. Please! Let me know what you like and let me know when you disagree with my reflections of your feelings!! You can never hurt my feelings!! I only care about your growth and development. Be honest with me and I'll be the best therapist I can be for you!!

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Given the opportunity, I can understand every side, every perspective and every argument. I am not here to take sides; I want to ensure everyone overstands each point of view, like I do. If you need to cry, cry! if you need to vent, vent; if you want to make a difference, I ask that you be up front, transparent, and honest, with me. Think of me like a lawyer, a confidant, a consigliere, or a diary. I am here to listen empathetically and I will challenge you (respectfully) when you contradict, invalidate, discredit, or ignore yourself.
