Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
I would first like to applaud you for taking the first step toward finding greater satisfaction in life. I believe this is what we all seek, and within the right therapeutic relationship we can better identify our needs and make changes to meet those needs. My primary theoretical orientation is attachment theory, which indicates that positive growth occurs within healthy, boundaried relationships. I believe that this can be applied to the therapeutic relationship and I aim to provide nurturing, dependable support in order to promote growth. I believe that having an authentic connection with a therapist is essential to the process, and if you do not find that with me I will be supportive of your decision to seek another therapist. My therapeutic style blends humor, sincerity, and a strong foundation of applicable skills to achieve therapeutic progress. You are welcome to contact me for a free screening via phone or video, and together we can determine if this is the therapeutic relationship that can best support your wellness. I am committed to providing an affirming space for those within the LGBTQ community. My practice is poly-friendly and culturally sensitive.
