What should a new client know about working with you?

My counseling style is collaborative, empathetic, and strengths-based. I believe therapy is not about being told what to do, but about working together to better understand yourself, identify patterns, build coping skills, and recognize the strengths you already have. I draw from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and other evidence-based interventions based on each client's individual needs. I believe every person’s story is unique, and I meet clients where they are without judgment. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, navigating a major life change, working through relationship or family concerns, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of your next step, therapy can provide a space to slow down, gain perspective, and move forward.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In the first session I will complete an intake assessment to gather as much information to better assess and get to know you, your history, and what concerns have brought you to therapy and therefore set up goals. The following sessions, we will engage in talk therapy while pulling from various modalities to help you achieve your goals. Our sessions are 45 min in length on a weekly basis. Please allow 15 minutes before the session to do the intake paperwork. I PROVIDE PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICES ONLY; PLEASE NOTE I DON’T PROVIDE MEDICATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES.
