About My Clients

I work best with clients who are committed to putting in the effort required to achieve their desired changes, while I am most excited to work with clients who are feeling fed up and motivated to explore new approaches; furthermore, I wish all clients knew that therapy is not a reflection of weakness or failure, but rather a courageous step toward seeking the necessary help and support.

My Background and Approach

Frances has prior experience as a family violence legal advocate, an outpatient behavioral health clinician, and an educator. Her diverse background allows her to approach issues from a holistic viewpoint. Frances employs an eclectic technique that incorporates psychodynamics, humanism, existentialism, and feminism. Sometimes, life can be stressful. Frances is optimistic that she can help you confront your troubles and empower you to try new things.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am dedicated to creating a nurturing and empowering environment for my clients by integrating my personal beliefs and interests into my therapy practice. I firmly believe in the inherent potential for growth and resilience within each individual I work with, and it is my passion to assist those who are ready to embark on a transformative journey towards self-discovery and positive change. Through my keen interest in mental health, social justice, and holistic well-being, I shape my therapeutic approach to cater to the unique needs and aspirations of every client. Understanding the various challenges life presents, my aim is to foster a safe and non-judgmental space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and supported as they navigate their personal journeys of growth and fulfillment.
