Get to know me

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

Our first session is spent getting to know one another. It's important that you feel comfortable with and respected by your therapist. Then, I'll likely ask questions that help me better understand where you're at in your life right now, and where you want to be three months, six months, or even a year from now. Then we take those goals of yours and put them into actionable steps. For adolescent clients; I have the guardian(s) join in our first session for half the session. This is so that I can ask for their perception of their teenager's symptoms and go over treatment planning together. For every follow up session after, I will ask for the guardian to meet with me for around 5-15 minutes after the session; this is not to share what we went over in session but to keep track of client symptoms, offer support, and teach skills if needed.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I like to make therapy feel like a space you can share anything without judgement. I meet you where you're at in your life, wherever that may be, and work on teaching skills that help you move forward. I have found that clients who are unsure about therapy or are trying therapy for the first time tend to have a good experience with me.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work most often with adults, and adolescents & their families, most of which have come from tough places or gone through hard experiences in their lives. I have found the best connections with people who appreciate an authentic approach and don't mind laughter.
