Starting counseling is a significant decision, and you may have many questions. If you have questions or concerns, please ask, and I will try my best to give you all the information you need. I have over 12 years of clinical experience treating children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families from a feminist lens. Counseling can sometimes lead to intense emotions, and clients sometimes feel worse before they feel better. However, counseling often leads to significant symptom reduction, increased satisfaction in interpersonal relationships, greater personal awareness and insight, and increased skills for managing stress.
