Everyone experiences challenges throughout their lifetime. Many times we may handle these challenges on our own or with our natural support systems, however, it is a strength to realize that some difficulties you are facing may require more support than you or your immediate family and friends can provide to you. Therapy offers an opportunity for self-discovery and growth in a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential environment.

Medication is a great tool for reducing symptoms of emotional pain, however medication alone does not address the cause of these symptoms. Many times those with moderate to severe symptoms may report continued disturbances because they have not utilized therapy to target unhelpful thought patterns, beliefs, or memories that contribute to emotional pain. Therapy offers an opportunity to identify and build healthy thoughts and coping skills to establish lasting positive mood and functioning.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am ethically required to keep all conversations held within your therapy sessions confidential. Your privacy will further be protected online and in public as I will never confirm or deny any connection to you without your consent to disclose this information. Confidentiality does have certain limitations. I am legally mandated to report any concerns of imminent danger to you or people close to you that I am made aware of.

This is your decision to make! Your complimentary 15 minute phone consultation is your opportunity to interview me to collect everything you need to make this informed decision. You may benefit from asking questions about my qualifications, experience, and my approach to therapy. Consider how you want to feel as you are engaging with me. Is it important that you feel calm and at ease, or safe and secure. Is humor or lightening the mood important to you, or do you want to feel well informed and enlightened. How these feelings are translated during your consultation is key!

Therapy looks different for each individual due to the variances of everyone’s goals and motivation for therapy. Overall, you should expect that your first session will be utilized to get further acquainted, review practice policies and fees, and to collect a history of your experiences. We will use this information to identify your treatment goals which will inform each session moving forward. I intentionally check-in with clients throughout treatment to assess their comfort level and value of their sessions to their growth.

I am not currently a certified EMDR therapist. I am EMDR trained, however, and I am actively working towards certification.
