You've already taken a big step by deciding to explore therapy. Well done! My job is to make it a good experience for you. I promise it won't be scary. We'll work together so you can heal and grow. Welcome to "Team You! If you’re struggling right now, we can work together to make your life better. I want this to be a safe haven to explore whatever is getting in the way of you having the life that you want. I have a laid-back style and often use humor and practical examples to make ideas easy to grasp. I’ll help you learn new skills, get a better understanding of what you are facing, and make small changes that have big results.
When we work together, I'll be listening hard and taking notes to make sure I remember everything that is important to you. There is a lot of back and forth. You talk, I listen, then ask questions, share insights, and explore options with you. It is a judgment-free zone. I love feedback, so I often ask you for it.
You will be an equal partner and will decide what goals and changes you want to work on. I work to help you make the changes as easy as possible. We'll explore different skills and see which ones appeal to you. We’ll use technology to its greatest advantage, including mental health apps and digital lessons that reinforce new skills between sessions.
