You can expect that I will treat you with compassion and non-judgment and be present with you as you work on your self-determined goals. Video sessions are immensely helpful to the therapeutic relationship, but I can communicate with you via text and phone as well.

My clients have taught me that everyone, (even though you think you're different) wants the same thing: to be heard, understood, and validated, so it's safe to love and be loved.
