Does something in your life need to change but you aren’t sure how to make this happen? Maybe you’ve thought about counseling but you’re nervous about reaching out for help? I believe every person has a unique life story and their own journey that is no one else’s. It’s okay to ask for help. My non-judgmental, laid back and down-to-earth personality will allow you to open up in a safe and comfortable space and together, we can find the right plan that helps you achieve your goals.
Throughout childhood, adolescence and adulthood, life has obstacles and challenges that can present themselves unexpectedly. It is my passion to help my clients conquer these obstacles by educating, empowering and encouraging them to achieve their most impossible goals and improve their overall quality of life.
While I specialize in working with children, adolescents, young adults and their families, I also enjoy working with adults and couples.
Why I Chose to Be A Therapist
Many people are surprised when I tell them I’ve dreamt of being a mental health therapist since middle school. I remember going through some really difficult family issues at the time. I felt alone. I felt that I couldn’t go to my family and my friends just wouldn’t understand. Although it took some time, I finally turned to my school counselor for help. Suddenly, I wasn’t so alone. I felt heard, understood and validated. I knew from that moment on that I wanted to make a difference in the world. I wanted to be that person for someone else. I can honestly say it’s the best decision I’ve ever made.
FAQ
1. How do I know which therapist is right for me?
If you’re unsure who would be the best fit, our team can help guide you.
2. How are your therapists selected?
When matching you with a therapist, we consider your needs and goals as well as the therapist’s experience and availability.
3. Will I have a real person helping me choose a therapist?
You don’t have to search through dozens of therapist profiles and try to determine on your own who might be the right fit.
4. Can I request a specific therapist?
If that therapist isn’t available or isn’t the best clinical fit, our team can help identify another therapist who may be appropriate.
5. What if my therapist isn’t the right fit for me?
If you don’t feel that your therapist is the right fit, we encourage you to communicate with us. Because we are a group practice with therapists who have different specialties and approaches, we may be able to help you find another therapist within our practice who better matches your needs. You should never feel that you have to stay with a therapist simply because you started with them.
6. Can I see another therapist at the practice if my needs change?
One benefit of a group practice is that you have access to therapists with different areas of expertise. Your needs may change over time, and your care can change with them.
7. What happens if my therapist leaves the practice?
As a group practice, we may be able to help you transition to another therapist within our practice who is appropriate for your needs.
8. Do I have to know exactly what I need before contacting you?
No.
You don’t need to know your diagnosis, treatment plan, or even which type of therapist you need before reaching out.
That’s part of what our team is here to help with.
Your mental health starts with you. Let us help you on your journey.
