“There had been quite a few scheduling errors mostly on my part and a little with his availability but we finally have our appointment today. Before all this he was completely understanding and communicated with me very well and helped with any concerns I had being this is the first time using the service and seeing him. I read his reviews which is why I chose to try getting back into therapy with him as my therapist, I truly believe he will exceed his compassion, understanding, communication and listening at all of our visits. ?”

What should a new client know about working with you?
In my therapeutic approach, I blend person-centered and cognitive-behavioral techniques. I strongly believe that the foundation of effective therapy lies in building a strong therapeutic relationship and fostering a nonjudgmental environment. My genuine care and unconditional positive regard for each individual ensure that you feel heard, understood, and supported throughout your therapeutic journey.
I share the belief that many of our troubles stem from distorted thoughts and core beliefs. Together, we will work on identifying and reshaping these beliefs, helping you view yourself, others, the present, the past, and the future in a way that benefits your overall well-being.
As your therapist, my role is not to have all the answers or dictate your path. Instead, I see my purpose as reflecting "you" back to "you," empowering you to make the changes that are most beneficial for your growth and development.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In a typical session with me, we start by checking in to understand where you're at in the present moment. Then, we dive into the primary area of growth we're currently focusing on. I provide homework assignments, which could involve actionable tasks or reflective journaling prompts.

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
More information on payments and coverage
We verify your insurance and bill them directly for services provided. You are responsible for any copay or deductible amount determined by your insurance, which must be paid at or before the time of your appointment.
