Therapeutic Style

I believe that healing and change is most effective when persons are offered an environment that is inviting, collaborative, and attentive. Subsequently, my goal is to provide a challenging, but non-judgmental and encouraging atmosphere for persons to explore concerns and challenges. In addition to my gestalt and psychodynamic training, I incorporate harm reduction, cultural, strengths perspective, and social justice lenses to recognize each person's lived experience and support persons in problem solving to achieve goals and live life authentically and fully.

What to Expect

Often the decision to enter therapy is a step that may carry feelings of ambivalence and uncertainty. To support your understanding of the process, please read the following information. Sessions are 50 minutes in duration and initial session appointments are focused on getting to know you so that I can best understand your needs and goals. Additionally, we will complete minimal paperwork during our first session and you will have time to ask questions about my treatment approach and style. From our initial work to develop a therapeutic relationship, we can determine whether we are a good therapeutic match for each other and begin to develop a plan to achieve your goals.

I am committed to maintaining your privacy and confidentiality. Consequently, neither AI nor EMR are used in my clinical practice.
