About me
Licensed Clinical Psychologist, currently working with adults via telehealth
I get it. When you start the search for someone to talk to, there are so many websites, types of providers and approaches. It can be overwhelming. Maybe you have already experienced a therapist and it was not the right fit, which does not feel very good when you are just trying to be better. I view choosing the right therapist as an interview process. It does not have to take long - just be strategic. My approach is to meet you where you are, and understand your goals as well as preferences for the work ahead. I am here to offer direct feedback, encourage new insights, promote self reflection, and provide support during troubling times.
