What to expect

Booking a 20 minute consultation to see if we are a good therapeutic fit is completely free! From here, we will schedule a time to do an assessment and treatment plan session to identify where you are in your personal journey and create some attainable goals (this typically takes around 60 minutes altogether). After this, we will discuss next options moving forward which will include how many times per week you would like to meet, pricing, and other treatment options.

Approach

My therapeutic approach tends to work well with adults (ages 18+) who are currently experiencing psychosis, depression, anxiety, emotion dysregulation, interpersonal deficits, and other issues regarding the self. I am a member of the LGBTQIA2S+ community and work well with the individualistic and affirmative fashions in which human beings choose to self-identify. As a clinical social worker, I believe that the individual is part of a great system: the micro (familial), the mezzo (immediate community), and the macro (the world at large). This means that in order to treat the self, we must understand how we are affected by our environment (what is around us), the times in which we are in (as well as when we were raised and by whom), and the current societal thoughts, emotions, and feelings at large that shape how we experience our past, present, and future.
