The first step in therapy is for me to learn all about you and what has brought you to a point in your life where you are seeking help. I will ask you to tell me all about yourself, your life, and your current situation.

I will work hard to listen for patterns and make connections between your past and your current situation. We will work together from that point forward collaboratively and establish a strong and mutually trusting therapeutic relationship.

My primary goal is to provide you with symptomatic relief and improvement in functioning and well-being. I want to help you to feel better.

I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings working with addiction and recovery, anxiety and mood disorders, severe and persistent mental illness, postpartum and PMDD, OCD, parenting, couples, grief, trauma, and LGBTQIA+ populations.

The most important part of the experience will be to instill and foster hope and to make sure that you feel supported.

We will be able to develop a comprehensive treatment plan. We will work together from that point forward collaboratively and establish a strong and mutually trusting relationship. My practice has other counselors with availability as well.
