During our first session, we will be getting to know one another. We'll go over the administrative piece at the beginning and review our paperwork, and then I'll guide us through some intake questions. We'll touch on current concerns, history with mental health, family and other relationships, lifestyle and health. Towards the end, I'll share how my experience will be relevant to our work together, and we'll set some goals and discuss a schedule that works for both of us.

My work focuses on creating a warm and supportive environment in order to build a strong therapeutic relationship. I always offer empathy and direction while helping my clients to challenge their thoughts and behaviors, and together we build positive insight and tools to cope with life’s ups and downs. I encourage clients to explore the way they relate to themselves and the world around them and to improve relationships and awareness. My approach to therapy is grounded in holistic care and increasing self awareness. My belief is that mental and physical health are so intertwined, so we can focus on all aspects of a person’s life, including stress, sleep, social life, nutrition and exercise and so much more. While my therapeutic approach is unique to each individual I see, I primarily utilize a client-centered approach, and am influenced by cognitive behavioral, strengths based, and solutions focused therapies. My clinical interests include anxiety and depression, stress, life transition, and relationship challenges.
