Get to know me

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

Generally in the first session I will begin by telling you about me, my general training and approaches to therapy. Then, I find that it is helpful to allow you to share with me what it is that has brought you to the therapy setting. Some individuals are very clear and others are not particularly clear and simply just know that it might be helpful to speak with someone other than a friend or family member; either is fine. After you have shared with me I will give you an idea of what I initial clinical approach, intervention might best meet your needs and we discuss together how that might work for you. The first session is really an introduction to give us both a chance to see if we are a good fit for each other. I want to make sure that I can meet your needs and address your concerns and I want to give you a chance to see if you feel comfortable with me as your therapist. It's a process, especially if you have never been in therapy before.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have learned that attending to the relationship between you as the client and me as the provider is a very important piece of the therapy process. I may have the clinical training but you are the expert on your situation and together we work to address your situation that is brought to the therapy setting.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with all ages. I spent many years working at Children's Hospital in Denver and I have recently spent time working with elementary children and preadolescents at military bases. I found that a remote practice with kids works quite well so if that is something you would like to consider for your child, please consider me as your therapist for your child. I enjoy working with a variety of presenting concerns and I find that the most important aspect for a positive outcome with therapy is when you and I can work together to meet your therapy needs.
