A bit about my approach to therapy

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe that the the most important and effective element in therapy is the relationship between client and therapist. If we are a match, know that you are the driver and I am the GPS. This means is that your experience and communication is what drives the experience and I will offer "course corrections" much like a GPS are born out of my experience as a therapist and my own life lessons. My clients report feeling respected, listened to, and supported.

What you can expect from our first session

What you can expect from our first session

I always start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. We’ll work together to figure this out! I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make these goals a reality for you.
