My communication style

My communication style includes clarity and directness, being non-judgmental, assertiveness, humor, collaboration, empathy, and validation. I want you to feel that you are in a trustworthy, solution-focused space.

My journey to mental healthcare

Therapy is a second career for me. I worked in network television production for sixteen years. I spent several years in therapy and experienced the rewards of doing my work, which influenced me to take a different path and reinvent my professional career. I find it rewarding and fulfilling when patients experience positive outcomes from treatment.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting begins with asking you questions related to what brought you in for treatment, your expectations, and what you hope to gain from therapy. We'll then collaborate together to set attainable goals and objectives and review progress through the course of treatment.

Our first session

During our first session, I'll ask questions about mental or behavioral health symptoms impairing your quality of life. How are you feeling? What's going well? What's not? What needs to improve? We'll discuss how therapy works so you have realistic expectations. This initial session builds a trustworthy alliance to set you up for success.
