Welcome to my Psychology Today profile page. If you've arrived here, you've most likely been given my name from someone who's opinion you value, or you began a search for a therapist. Good for you. We can all use some support these days.
My goal for you, and advice, is that you take your time to search. It's important that you find someone who is a good match for YOU. That is the number one factor that will allow you to feel comfortable in therapy. I am happy to do an initial phone call with you, at no charge.
I invite you to schedule a session, come meet me in person, get a feel for the location and space and decide for yourself if you feel like this will work for you. Your comfort is my priority. I am happy to give referrals if you'd like to go elsewhere. I won't lie, it can feel awkward, but I'm truly comfortable providing additional referrals.
