My communication style

My clients tell me they find comfort, support, and non-judgment when working with me. My style tends to be informal, incorporating empathy, humor, and the types of questions that allow clients to explore and find their own way.

My journey to mental healthcare

My professional life has always centered around information, service, and empowerment. After working in media, I moved into non-profit management, with a focus on systems to support those in need. Following the path of service, I became a yoga instructor and found that supporting others in an individual or small group setting was rewarding.

My goals for you

Goal-setting is a team effort in my practice. After an initial assessment where I gather background information and focus on clients' stated goals, I present what I believe I've heard and invite clients to alter as they deem appropriate.

Our first session

My first goal is to understand what the client has identified as their current concerns. From there, I spend time getting to know the client through a holistic series of questions, allowing me insight into what may have contributed to the presenting issue.

I identify as...
