What is therapy like? What does a typical session with you look like?

Each of my sessions is tailored to the client and their needs. It is my belief that there is no “one size fits all” model for counseling. With me, counseling is whatever you need it to be. Do you want to dig into your trauma, process it, and learn from it, or do you want to vent about your week? It is up to you, you should not dread your sessions because you have to talk about something painful, and you should not leave feeling like we didn't get to talk bout what you wanted to talk about. You should look forward to talking to someone who genuinely just wants to listen and support you with whatever is on your mind and heart.

I'm so glad you are here. Taking the first step in seeking therapy, and the strength it takes to ask for help, is HUGE. I'm proud of you, for showing up for yourself. Finding someone to talk to, someone who will listen and someone you feel comfortable with, is crucial when you, or someone you love, is hurting or struggling. I believe we can all benefit from talking to an unbiased person that has our best interest in mind. My goal is to be that for my clients. As a therapist I don’t have all the answers, and that’s not my job, my job is to help you find your answers.

I provide evaluation and medication management. Please know that I’m not interested in throwing a bunch of pills at you and calling it a day, but I want to help you understand what’s going on with your body and mind so that we can come up with some strategies that work for you. I want to help my patients find a way of being in a world based on self-compassion and kindness.

"Although I prescribe psychiatric medications such as antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and ADHD medications, it does not mean that I believe medications will help everyone or solve all of your problems. After your initial evaluation, I will give you reliable information about whether a medication is likely to help, its potential risks, and the alternative treatments. I may strongly recommend a medication, suggest it as a possible option, or conclude that medication is not likely to help you at all. We will discuss your lifestyle, such as diet, exercise, alcohol/substance use, and stress-management strategies"

My approach is client centered and psychodynamic.  In sum, the client drives the session and I will always meet you where you are at.  Some days we are open to sharing painful and private aspects of our lives and other days we are not…and that’s ok.  I also feel it is important to review our past and how it continues to meet us in the future. In therapy, we look into ourselves to find solutions to life’s challenges.
