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

Depending on the reason for the visit, the initial session consists of a brief history and assessment.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a provider I bring a vast array of experience from multiple clinical settings. I have worked in nearly every facet of mental health and substance use. I want you to feel comfortable and safe during your sessions. I believe trust in the therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone to successful sessions and utilize a person-centered approach. I have built my counseling style on evidenced based practices, along with a foundation of respect for those I treat, regardless of intrinsic or extrinsic variables.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

The therapeutic relationship is based on mutual respect and trust. I encourage clients to speak freely, express their inner emotions and focus on their journey. My role is to assist you in realizing your part in achieving and addressing blockages to your goals by utilizing evidenced based therapies. Challenging maladaptive coping skills and negative beliefs is one way discovery of self and new thought patterns emerge. I utilize evidenced-based therapeutic modalities, such as CBT and DBT, to foster introspection and challenge behaviors and beliefs, which in turn encourages positive change.
