Great to meet you!

As a board certified professional clinical counselor, I think it is just as important to focus on your mental health as it is to focus on physical health. Seeking help can be one of the scariest parts, so great job on beginning your journey! I’ve been working in the mental health field for 20 years in various settings with the last 6 years focusing on private practice working with individuals on their goals for managing their mental health symptoms and improving their lives.

I believe the therapy relationship is the most important. It is most important because you are entrusting a person into some of the most personal aspects of your thoughts and feelings so I want to create an environment that feels safe and comfortable first and foremost. I also work with CBT, DBT and solution focused therapy modalities.

The first session is a little different than the following in that my goal is to really learn who you are, what your history is, and the goals you have for your future so that we can create a plan for future sessions. For this reason, I spend a lot of the first session simply listening as you share about yourself and what brings you to therapy.
