Under supervision: Ann Revard, LCSW-S. I assess how motivated they are for treatment. This gives a better understanding of the individual, their needs and goals, and their palpable eagerness to do "the work." Clients that I work with are generally committed to the process. They are openminded, willing, honest, introspective, and determined. These characteristics start to show up, or become stronger each week, as the client begins to trust me, and ultimately themselves, with their healing journey. Each client is unique and every journey is different. I will always follow the lead of my client and let them set the pace of progress.
I was once a queer young adult who felt stuck, scared, and hopeless. I did not have the skills to cope or the words to describe the emotional turmoil. When I started to believe in myself and my identity, I vowed to be a resource to others in similar situations. I wholeheartedly believe that my speciality is shared lived experience and true empathy.
There is not a session that goes by that I do not feel honored to have the job that I do. I never take for granted the opportunity to be a part of someone's life journey. Wherever you are in the process of finding a therapist, I'm here for you. I practice outside of my specialities and am happy to work with just about anyone. Let's connect and get started!
