Great to meet you!

The first thing I’d like client to know about me is that I’m very passionate about my work. I never get tired of doing my work because I’m energized by it and I enjoy the process of helping clients resolve their issues. I am not punitive, I am not aggressive, I do supportive patient centered problem-solving oriented therapy. I also engage in cognitive behavior therapy and psychodynamic therapy in the hope of identifying the origin of stressors difficulties and mental health challenges. My work is not a job for me. My work is what I enjoy doing. I offer assistance to everyone and anyone interested and meet you wherever you are.

A bit about my approach to therapy

The assistance or specialty I can offer a client is based on a love of my work, and love of exploring a challenge to identify its origin so we can use that to apply the proper clinical intervention and assist the client with reducing their difficulties. The clinical approaches I have found helpful are psychodynamic developmental approach as well as CBT/DBT.

What you can expect from our first session

I would welcome anyone experiencing difficulties who finds my words helpful to reach out to me for a conversation to see if there is a match. Please allow yourself to 'interview' your prospective therapists to make sure you feel a connection and their approach matches the kind of therapist you are seeking. Best of luck!
