About

I am humbled you chose me to serve you to enter your sacred space and walk along or sit beside you as you journey either in psychotherapy or in counseling with me. Whether I am your first provider or not, I am certain we both will be better because of our insightful and transformative interactions. I embrace appropriate provider transparency, so I will begin by saying, “no, my dad did not want a son when he named me, Thomasina,” as he already had a son named Thomas.

I send out a form requesting clients/partners to identify up to 3 goals as well as challenges. I also engage you in Readiness for Change and a few other initial objective questionnaires that may be helpful to frame clinical goals and assist with tracking progress. The goal setting is designed to be individualized.

During our initial sessions, I will review pertinent agency paperwork and begin to gather information related to your presenting issues to assist in identifying underlying problems from you or significant others you approve and consent to. To gather information, we will engage in dialogue (subjective) and use assessments and questionnaires (objective).
