Contact me for a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation.

I offer phone consultations to see if we would be a good fit for one another. Finding the right counselor is essential. If we are not the right fit for some reason, I will provide you with resources or referrals to someone who may better suit you. 

Finding the right counselor is essential for many reasons. Establishing a strong rapport and connection with your counselor is crucial for effective therapy. Feeling comfortable with your counselor will make opening up and discussing your concerns easier. To help develop this connection with people, I aim to create a safe, supportive, and comfortable atmosphere in sessions where you can express your thoughts and emotions without judgment.

I believe in creating a tailored approach for each individual I work with. While different counselors have various therapeutic approaches and specialties, finding someone who aligns with your needs and goals is fundamental. 

It is important to always consider expertise and qualifications when looking for a counselor. I have over a decade of experience working with individuals with various issues. I am a licensed clinical social worker and a certified addiction professional. Additionally, I am trained in EMDR therapy. EMDR is also referred to as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a psychotherapy approach that psychologist Dr. Francine Shapiro developed in the late 1980s. EMDR is primarily used to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences and other distressing life events.

I am a culturally sensitive counselor. Identity plays a significant role in shaping our experiences and perspectives. For these reasons, finding a counselor who understands and respects your cultural background, values, and beliefs is essential. A culturally sensitive counselor can provide a more inclusive and supportive therapeutic experience.

Effective therapy requires time and commitment. Finding the right counselor increases the likelihood of a successful outcome. I aim to make people feel understood, supported, and empowered. I have experience working with individuals on a long-term basis. Long-term therapy encourages people to continue the therapeutic process, leading to positive long-term results.

Feel free to contact different professionals, ask questions during initial consultations, and trust your instincts when selecting the counselor who feels like the best fit for you.
