"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." -Maya Angelou-
This is a short introductory phone conversation about your therapeutic needs (individual or couples/marriage therapy, nutrition support and wellness) as well as an opportunity for me to provide you with information about my practice, location, pricing, and therapy services.
The intake appointment is a unique opportunity for me to learn about you, your life, and what you are seeking counseling services for. This 90 minute session is the time where we will talk about and explore your unique lived experiences (development, relationships, emotions, behaviors, family etc.) as well as map out goals for the therapy process. This opportunity is also the time where you are able to ask me questions about myself, my training, my education, as well as explore my office and the unique structure of my office (interacting with the library of books on display, the art bins, sensory items, sand tray Zen garden, meditation/breathing exercises). Learning about you is just as important as you learning about me. We must feel comfortable, safe, and secure to truly engage in the authentic therapeutic journey.

I have found that integration of clients passions into the therapy work helps clients to gain a more authentic connection to themselves and their therapy process. I truly believe in meeting clients where they are, understanding clients from a whole person perspective and lens, and walking beside them as they navigate and learn about themselves, emotions, relationships, and the world.
Individual counseling services will use one on one sessions to focus on exploring lifespan, relationships, and self from a bio-psycho-social and psychodynamic approach while using art, music, educational resources, and mindfulness modalities and interventions. I specialize in working with:
Young children ages 7 -10
Teen and adolescent clients ages 11-17
Young Adult clients ages 18-26
Adult clients ages 27+
Working with couples allows for integration of an integrative and eclectic mode of therapy where individual lifespan and couples experiences are explored and forged. Using The Gottman Method along with Dr. Alexandra H. Soloman's Relationship Work to explore the interpersonal and intra-psyche relationship challenges and build individual awareness of the unique lifespan influences of one another along with learning about the development of the self. This self fosters and encourages an authentic awareness of the self and of your partner which allows for and encourages compassionate and empathic relational growth.
Whether the couple is needing support to effectively communicate, reignite passion/intimacy, work through the challenges associated with continuing with the relationship or take the next steps in their relationship, I willingly participate, facilitate, challenge, encourage, and support the couple without bias or preconceived judgement to help them connect, learn, and grow together.
