Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?
I was raised by several generations of social workers and that has taught me the value of community, empathy, and meaningful action. These values can change lives, when offered in appropriate doses at critical times. I have found great satisfaction in helping others find their power and use it to improve their lives.
For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?
Every therapist is different, so every therapy session can be different too! If you think you already know what therapy will be like, ask yourself, where did that impression come from? With so many providers available today, it's easy to browse profiles and decide who sounds like they will work well with you and the issues you would like to focus on. In addition, there's no shame in realizing that a certain therapeutic relationship isn't what you were looking for and to try again.
What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?
I will listen to your story without judgement or agenda. I will be a sounding board for ideas, fears, hopes, and nightmares. I have more than a decade of experience working with adults, the aging population and end of life. I will offer assistance with prioritizing the changes you want to see in your life and empowerment to reach your goals, big or small. I am energetic and driven to see my clients progress in their goals.
What do therapy sessions with you look like?
Sessions with me will be based on what the client's initial and end goals are. Some people just want to be heard and understood, others need strategic exercises and social/emotional homework to make the changes they want to see in their lives.
How can you provide care remotely?
Virtual Psychotherapy can be very effective with clients who are motivated to change and need tools and coping skills, as well as someone to periodically hold them accountable for these goals. Remote care can be easier for those who have difficult schedules or lack reliable transportation.
