I have been in private practice for 14 years and truly enjoy working with my clients and supporting them as they grow and make meaningful, positive changes. I am warm, approachable, and easy to talk to, and I prioritize creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel comfortable sharing even the most difficult life experiences.
My approach to therapy is to first create a relationship with my clients. If they don't feel safe with me, then the work cannot be done. After that safety has been created, then I will work to apply the skills I have honed with my education to provide them the tools they need to approach the challenges they presented with.
In our first session together, clients can expect to feel welcomed in a warm, supportive environment. They are invited to share what has been going on for them and express their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. During this session, we will begin to establish structure, clarify goals, and lay the foundation for our work together.
