Do you take insurance?
I don’t take insurance.

What’s your approach?
I take a holistic approach to mental health. After all, your brain is connected to your body, and everything works together.
For this reason, I encourage my clients to be proactive in caring for their physical health… and participate in health-promoting activities that can positively impact various areas of their lives.
I believe that accurate diagnosis (and determining whether there IS a diagnosis) is essential to planning your treatment.
I meet my clients where they are, and we work from there using evidence-based interventions.
I devote much of the time in therapy to developing a great relationship with my clients. It’s important that you feel safe and understood, as there’s no substitute for a strong therapeutic alliance when it comes to psychological treatment.
Therapy is a collaborative process, and I strive to empower my clients to be active participants in their healing.
What should I expect in my first session?
Will I receive a psychiatric diagnosis?
Proper diagnosis and treatment planning is an important part of what we do in the field of psychology. For many, receiving a diagnosis can help provide answers to questions they have about their mental health. For others, receiving a diagnosis might seem stigmatizing.
If you meet the criteria for one or more DSM-5 diagnoses, I will discuss this with you with sensitivity and care.
Do your clients receive assignments to work on between sessions?
Most of the work of therapy happens outside of the therapy session. Therefore, I encourage my clients to go out and practice the skills learned during their sessions in their everyday lives.
I sometimes assign specific homework on a case-by-case basis.

Are you LGBTQIA+ friendly?
Absolutely. I believe it’s important to affirm your identity and continue educating myself as much as I can.
Do you have any beverage preferences?
Water is the superior beverage. Period.
Pepsi and Coke are interchangeable unless it’s the Coke that comes in a glass bottle. For that, there’s no substitute!
