Great to meet you!

I'm glad you took this first step to working on yourself. That was the hardest part! As a licensed clinical worker, I have been practicing for over 30 years in a number of areas. The last 10 years I have been running my private practice and became a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP). I do my best work with professional women who feel that they have to be perfect in everything, but can't live up to that standard, and anxiety takes over.

My approach to therapy

I am not the type of therapist that sits in the chair and just listens and asks "how do you feel about that?" My approach is individualized to each individual and what works best with them. I find out what your goals are and we work together to reach your goals. My style is direct, warm and compassionate.

What you can expect from me

The first session is an introductory session. It's a chance for you to tell your story and for me to gather necessary details. Most importantly, this is an opportunity for you to see if you feel comfortable working with me. You can have the most renowned therapist in the world, but if you don't have good rapport with each other, you won't receive good therapy. The most important thing is you feel you are receiving the best therapy for your issue so this is the try out session.
