My communication style

Therapy should be a conversation, not a class. My clients say they feel respected, I'm interested in them, and I believe in them. I don't talk down to my clients, and I believe we are a team working together. I'm fairly direct, but I don't tell my clients what to do. I'm here to listen, understand, and sometimes challenge you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I understand depression in a very personal way. It's in my family, and I, myself, went to therapy for help with depression years ago, before I became a therapist to help others. I'll never forget what it felt like to first open up to a stranger about my problems, and I always use this as a tool to show empathy for others.

My goals for you

It's important to ask you how we will know therapy has worked, but this question is just the starting point of an ongoing collaborative conversation. Some people come into therapy knowing what they want out of it, but many just know that they feel bad and want to feel better.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll focus on getting to know you. We'll spend about 15 minutes talking about how therapy works and going over a few business items, and then we'll spend the rest of the time getting to know who you are and what's important to you.
