Nice to Meet You

Welcome! I just want to take a moment and recognize that if you’re here, you’re ready for change. Honestly, you’ve already done most of the work right there! As a strength-based therapist, I help identify strengths and positive shifts in patterns that can be used to create and maintain desired change. Most of all, I am here to remind you that desiring – or even needing – change does not mean there is something lacking or broken in you! I deeply value peoples’ ability to be honest and kind to themselves so they can recognize when change is needed, but also forgive themselves for having struggled… because struggling is human.

We all struggle, we all make mistakes, and we all have been in a place where we may not have presented as our best selves. Things in life can be difficult and we may lose sight of our importance and value in this life. I want you to know that I am here to remind you that you matter and that you are so much stronger than you realize or may give yourself credit for. I am here to help you recognize detrimental patterns that were once helpful and no longer serve a purpose, and also find strengths that you can utilize to help you live a fulfilling life that you are proud of.

Together we will explore the motivations behind the patterns that currently get in your way, so you can begin your journey to where you deserve to be. Come in knowing you can be whatever you need to be and that I am just here to help you get where you want to be. I believe it is essential to find a therapist that you feel you can connect and work well with.

Appointment Confirmed!

Your registration is complete and your appointment is scheduled. Review the details below.

Missed and Late Cancel Office Policy: Our office requires two full business days’ notice (48 hours) to cancel or reschedule your appointment or your credit card will be charged a late cancellation fee. Saturdays, Sundays, and Legal Holidays are not counted as business days (i.e., if you have an appointment on Monday at 11:00 am, and you wish to change it without penalty, you would need to call our office on the preceding Thursday morning before 11:00 a.m. to avoid the late cancellation fee). The late cancellation fee is $150 for a session with a psychiatrist, or $100 for a session with a psychologist or master’s level therapist. If you are not present at the start time of your scheduled appointment, it may be marked as missed by your provider. Unfortunately, we cannot bill your insurance for late cancellations, missed sessions, and appointments with too little time. We apologize that there are no exceptions to the late cancellation policy.
