Hi and welcome to a better you by taking this important step. Sometimes the hardest part of starting therapy isn’t knowing that you want help—it’s finding someone you feel comfortable enough with to actually be yourself. That connection matters to me.
I also have a strong commitment to working with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples.
I’ve been a therapist for more than 30 years, and one of the things I’ve learned is that people don’t need another person telling them how they should live their lives. They need a safe place to talk honestly, make sense of what they’re feeling, and figure out what comes next.
First session
The core of any relationship is trust and respect, including in a therapeutic one. My goal from the start is to provide a comfortable and relaxed environment. Understanding goals and your 'why' for therapy is important in our first session.
Strengths
My style is warm, genuine, conversational, and down-to-earth. Clients often tell me they feel comfortable opening up to me fairly quickly. I think that comes from creating a space where you don’t have to worry about being judged or saying the “wrong” thing. I’m not here to tell you how you should live your life. I’m here to listen, understand, ask thoughtful questions, and, when needed, gently challenge you. We’ll work together to make sense of what’s happening and figure out what can change. I believe therapy should be a collaboration—not something where I sit back and tell you what to do. My goal is for you to leave our sessions with greater clarity, a better understanding of yourself, and practical tools you can actually use in your everyday life.
Ideal clients
I easily connect with people and that connection is the 1st step in helping clients move through their steps. If you’re committed to feeling better about why you’re here, that will help in creating a team approach. My goal is to help get you to your goals. Many times clients have the answers, they just need to see it from a different perspective or just to talk through what they already know. I can be that sounding board.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
The way we perceive things and situations, often dictate our reactions and feelings. We can adjust that thought process to see situations from a different perspective. I also utilize real life scenarios to make reality, just that.
