Great to meet you!

First things first, it is vital to me that you, my future clients, know that I feel honored to hold space for you. Yes, I understand how medications work, but the most important thing is that you trust that I believe that YOU are the best informant of your care. It is of utmost importance that my clients feel safe, heard, and respected. I have been providing patient care for over 21 years, and I bring all of my experience to serve with you with gratitude and understanding of my responsibility.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I have two ears and one mouth for a reason. First, I will hear you out. Mental health care trauma is a real experience for many and I’m here to listen first, and to apply the evidence-based knowledge I have and will continue to develop as your advocate and provider. Before we start or change medications I will always learn about your daily routines and challenges. If medications are indicated I have no hesitation, but my goal is to remind my clients of their power in directing their lives.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect to be challenged to see their life experience from varying perspectives and to be met where they are ~ It is an honor that my patients have expressed feeling safe to lay it all out and then together to sort out the pieces. There is no rush, we will go at your pace with an approach that comes from the experience I have gained treating people with OCD, Anxiety, Mood disorders, schizoaffective/psychotic disorders, ADHD, and more. There are no challenge we cannot face together.
