Therapist Overview
For me, there is no “ideal client”. I view you as unique and individual with your own very unique and individual set of experiences. These experiences have shaped you. Therefore, your individual needs, goals, and outcomes will also be unique and specific to you. I believe that it is very important to develop a good rapport with my patients at the outset. Whether you are dealing with behavioral health or substance abuse challenges, when you feel comfortable with your provider you are more likely to be compliant with the prescribed treatment regimen. This, in turn, produces more positive outcomes. In communication, there is nothing more valuable than to be “heard”. It is when we listen that have the opportunity to validate the speaker and, therefore, to understand what is being conveyed. Understanding your challenges is key to arriving at a diagnosis and treatment plan that can be of the most benefit for you. I’m a good listener.
