In what ways does your personality influence your approach to therapy?
My counseling style is a reflection of my personality. I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate. I like to carry those traits into my sessions. I support clients and offer a judgment free space where they can explore their feelings. My counseling style is pretty laid back. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles.
What does a first session with you look like?
The first session consists of the therapist and client getting to know each other a bit. Any questions the client has are answered. If the answer is not known, I will do my due diligence and find the answer. Therapy goals are explored and discussed.This will help us develop a road map for where we want to go in our work together.
If there was one thing you wish people knew about the therapy experience who might be hesitant to try it, what would that be?
Approaching therapy can be quite daunting for some. However, I want to assure anyone with hesitation, as a client, you are in complete control. We work together to help you reach your goals. My objective is to help you grow and move forward to where you want to be in your life. You are not alone. Things can and will get better.

Since I began practicing years ago I have worked with clients from a variety of backgrounds and diverse life experiences. I have extensive experience working with clients who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression and trauma. My counseling style is pretty laid back.
