Hello there! I am so happy you have come upon my profile. As a licensed counselor for over 20 years I have had the honor of working with a wide variety of people facing all sorts of life struggles and mental health challenges. I can bring all my experience into working with you and team up with you to improve your life!
Each person is unique and complex. I will get to know you, taking into account what you think is relevant to the goals you have. I take a holistic approach when this is helpful, looking at important experiences, relationships, symptoms, life experiences, beliefs and values. We may look at any patterns or dynamics that have become unhelpful and we will explore how to make changes.
In our first session I will want to hear what is bringing you in to therapy at this time and what you hope to get out of it. I will also ask if you have had therapy before and if so, what has been helpful or unhelpful in those experiences. I will listen to what you are hoping for and also ask questions to get to understand you better.
