I am committed to 100% honesty and transparency with the goal of "no surprises". Everything about you and your treatment is safeguarded with the utmost protection as your trust and confidence in me is essential to your wellbeing and success in treatment. We will always discuss in the beginning of treatment your needs and the few and rare exceptions to maintaining confidentiality that are required by law.    

You can expect that our appointments will always be a collaborative journey that is focused on being attentive to your needs and goals.  We explore the self, relationships with others, and the way we interact.  Sessions are directive and active.  We will do more than just talk......you will have homework assignments to practice skills that we will review during sessions.  Every session is focused on giving you more information, more skills, sometimes more questions, more motivation and confidence, and more hope for making the changes that are needed for your well-being.  

You have my respect and admiration because you are wise enough to see some area of your life that doesn't work the way that you need and deserve it to and you are here because you are willing to do something to improve it. You have my unconditional positive regard as there is no judgement and nothing that you can say or do that will keep me from valuing you.
