My private practice values quality over quantity. I offer sessions during non-traditional clinical hours including evenings and weekends. This means you are never a number.  Instead, I take time to nurture our relationship allowing a variety of communication options. I also never have too many clients, so scheduling is flexible, and you are not forgotten.

Private practice has an intimate level of support. Individuals and families that have frequent high-risk concerns or a variety of severe mental health needs may find community based or larger practices more beneficial due to their ability to have a larger responsive clinical team.  

Medication and psychotherapy serve difference purposes. While I don't prescribe psychotropic medication, there are times some people find it helpful to stabilize intense acute symptoms or chronic symptoms of serious mental health illnesses. The option to take psychotropic medication is a personal decision that you choose. 

Therapy explores and addresses the deep mental and emotional breakdowns that affect our ability to make progress through strategies and techniques that target your specific goals. As a result, the combinations of therapy and medication may be an option for you, but medication alone doesn’t facilitate change in the way therapy does. 

Teletherapy has removed the barriers to access treatment. No more searching for a location near your home, driving across town, paying for gas, searching for parking, and sitting in waiting rooms with strangers. Now, therapy is convenient from anywhere you have a private uninterrupted space to talk with internet access. You can meet in your home or car. You can meet in comfortable clothing including your pjs and fitness attire. You can meet from your computer, tablet, or phone.

Set your own mood for your telehealth sessions. For example: grab cup of coffee, sit in your favorite spot in your room, light a candle and join your teletherapy session.

My therapy is tailored to your needs and not manualized. Addtionally, therapy is a journey that peels back layers and manages ongoing challenges. As a result, it is not possible to know how many sessions you need. The journey of therapy is an intimate and personal commitment that takes time to explore, but as you navigate your emotional health, you will find it rewarding to feel yourself evolving and making breakthroughs. As the saying goes, trust the process.  

The biggest benefit to therapy is having a private and safe space to explore your deepest and most vulnerable feelings. Therefore, limited treatment information will only be shared to healthcare providers or individuals involved in your care that you choose. On rare occasions, there are ethical and legal limits of confidentiality regarding safety. Those include:

• Concerns of harming yourself or others
• Neglect or abuse suspected for a child, elderly person, or disabled person
• State or federal laws
