My Approach to Helping

As a therapist, I take an active role in listening, empowering, and supporting my clientâs subjective experience. I place great importance on authenticity, and infuse humor into my therapeutic style. I view the client-therapist relationship as collaborative. Together, my clients and I investigate ideas that may be leaving them stuck in dysfunctional patterns.

I believe self-awareness and personal responsibility are paramount to living a functional and fulfilling life. Undoubtedly, cultural influences such as gender roles and minority stereotypes can create barriers in our lives. I encourage clients to foster a strong sense of self, trust in self, and belief in freedom of choice, despite barriers.

Each client has his or her own goals when they enter therapy. My job as a therapist is to guide the client toward achieving these goals, promoting the awareness, honesty, and self-love needed to work through obstacles along the way.

More Info About My Practice

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Registered Intern, supervised by Stacy-Colleen Nameth, LCSW (LCS 20894). Because I am a pre-licensed professional, my fees are lower than most licensed professionals in private practice. I am also an out-of-network intern provider for those with PPO insurance plans.
