My communication style

Clients often remark on the fun, interesting, and intriguing aspects of our sessions, saying things like "Wow, I didn't think of that before," "Good question!" "Don't know what I would have done without therapy!" etc. I am interactive, non-judgmental, challenging, and warm at the same time. Clients feel seen, heard, and remembered.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am suited to my profession and engage in it with passion, care, and excitement. In the context of my eventful life, there are few issues that clients come to me with that I am not familiar with to one degree or another. I always find the work interesting and fulfilling.

My goals for you

At the outset, once we understand what you want to accomplish, we set short-session and long-term goals. I assign homework, and we review it each session to keep our eyes on the ball. When goals are not reached, we discuss obstacles and how to address them in a meaningful way.

Our first session

First sessions include a meaningful explanation of why you are seeking therapy, what you hope to accomplish, and your experience with therapy. For my part, I explain what methods I employ, how I would address your specific issues, and how we would work together to achieve your objectives and goals.
