Choosing a therapist is a very personal decision! A safe place free of judgment is crucial, and I strive to offer that. As the sole practitioner at Open Perspectives LLC, I will offer you a secure, supportive environment to allow you to focus on goals that are specific to your needs.
I offer a client-centered, eclectic combination of therapeutic approaches, in an authentic, relatable way. Processing experiences, working to change unhelpful patterns, and building skills and strategies are just a few of the steps we can take together to move toward lasting change.
I have over 7 years of experience supporting patients & families impacted by cancer. I'm licensed in Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, with 12 years of experience. I have been intensively trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), & certified as a Transgender Care Therapist.
Still feeling uncertain? That is to be expected, so let's chat! I offer a free initial phone consultation to answer questions and determine your comfort with moving forward.
I accept insurance, self pay, offer a sliding fee scale, and flexible scheduling to promote increased access to therapy for all who seek it.
