Many people turn to psychotherapy or counseling for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, painful relationship patterns, feeling stuck, or sometimes just the feeling that something is missing from life. Sometimes we may not have the words to describe our feelings, struggles, or suffering. However, with insight into past relationships and experiences, many people can make progress immediately toward overcoming these difficulties and becoming more effective in their work and relationships. I am a licensed clinician with 20 years of experience helping individuals achieve a more fulfilling life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
No one usually comes to therapy unless they are experiencing difficulties or suffering to some degree. Beginning therapy can also be a very daunting, anxiety-filled process. However, I want to assure you that you are in a safe and supportive space. My goal is to create a therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings. I will listen to you without judgment and help you explore your experiences in a safe, judgment-free, and confidential setting. Our first few sessions will involve an evaluation of your concerns and needs. By the end of the evaluation, I will be able to offer you some first impressions of what our work may include.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
By facilitating a strong, positive therapeutic relationship, along with an empathetic ear, I have achieved a great deal of success with patients who desire to explore how past relationships, parenting practices, and experiences contribute to present-day symptoms of anxiety and depression.
