My Approach to Helping

My approach is one that is genuine and sincere. I prefer sessions to feel conversational, where we work together as a team to find the most fitting approach to reach each client's goals. I strongly encourage my clients to give feedback on our therapy as it is important that our work is collaborative.

I draw from several different therapeutic approaches, and enjoy being creative in my style in order to provide individualized care. I have been influenced by cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and creative expression. I strongly support holistic care by encouraging my clients to take care of themselves mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually.

More Info About My Practice

I strive to provide excellent service at reasonable costs. Because some clients are coming to therapy due to recent job loss or financial issues, I offer a sliding scale. If you are seeking a lower cost for services, I ask that you consider your financial obligations as well as the importance of the work we will do together and offer a rate that honors both of these commitments.
