My communication style

I first seek to help the client feel heard and understood. And gather a complete picture of their history with the issue, and in general, during the intake process, so I understand them better. I want the client to be at ease and as comfortable as possible with the process. And I invite them to ask any questions they have.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist in midlife, after a business career. I had always wanted to work in a helping field, and when I worked in a managed mental health care firm as an intake worker, I went to grad school, got licensed as an LPC, and spent about 8 years in a community clinic and 8 years in my own practice.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting in a client-centered, joint way to develop goals that are meaningful to you in terms of where you want to see progress.

Our first session

I try to be welcoming, and most clients can tell me about their lives and challenges as well as where they want to head in therapy.
