Welcome

Today marks a significant step toward a transformed you, where you feel empowered and aligned with a positive path of growth and well-being. As a solution-focused therapist, I aim to be your guide in uncovering your true potential and embracing a life that is truly worth celebrating.

By utilizing complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will uncover deep-rooted behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be obstructing your journey to a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you seek extra support through a challenging situation or are ready to embark on a new direction, I am excited to work with you to achieve your goals.

Providing you with a safe space

Confidentiality is one of the most important components between a patient and the psychotherapist. Successful therapy requires a high degree of trust with highly sensitive subject matter that is usually not discussed anywhere but in the therapist's office. Every therapist should provide a written copy of their confidential disclosure agreement, and you can expect that what you discuss in the session will not be shared with anyone. This is called 'Informed Consent', a legal and ethical concept that ensures you have the right to privacy and control over your personal information. Sometimes, however, you may want your therapist to share information or give an update to someone on your healthcare team (your Physician, Attorney). However, by law, your therapist cannot release this information without obtaining your written permission.

However, state law and professional ethics require therapists to maintain confidentiality except for the following situations:
* Suspected past or present abuse or neglect of children, adults, and elders to the authorities, including Child Protection and law enforcement, based on information provided by the patient or collateral sources.
* If the therapist has reason to suspect the patient is seriously in danger of harming themself or has threatened to harm another person.
* I understand that my mental health provider must forward my information to an authorized third party or medical insurance for billing and diagnosis purposes required by law
