Are all these therapist profiles starting to blur together? It seems like we all use similar jargon: “Compassionate listening” “supportive guidance”, “safe space”, “trauma-informed”, “evidence-based” etc, etc. It’s because most of us aim to offer similar things and have had similar training. But I believe what truly matters when choosing a therapist is connection—there’s a "click" that can just happen and suddenly you know you are seen, accepted, and understood in a way that opens up new possibilities for growth. This connection empowers you to explore who you are, confront your challenges, and make meaningful changes in your life.
Together, we’ll examine what’s working and what isn’t, with honesty and without judgment. I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals from ages 9 to 79, both in community clinics and in-patient hospital facilities. These experiences have given me deep insight into the wide variety of issues people face at every stage of life.
I welcome you to reach out for a free 15-minute phone consultation and see if you feel that "click". Oh, and give yourself a pat on the back for taking the first step towards better mental health. I know it’s not always easy, but you’re doing it!
