My communication style

I am approachable and laid back. I understand how difficult and anxiety-producing it can be to meet with someone you don't know to talk about things you may not share with even your closest friends and family. My tone is conversational.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have lived experiences with trauma, and I started in this field trying to fix myself. For my second try at becoming a therapist, I wanted to help others because someone had helped me. Providing services to people in need is an honor because I survived my struggles for a reason.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting depends on my clients. Some people come in with specific goals, and I honor them. If goals are not working or achievable, we talk about adjusting them. For others, I suggest a goal and ask how they feel about it. I never make a goal you are not comfortable with.

Our first session

First sessions are often filled with questions, and there is usually no way around this. However, I also want you to have time talking about what brought you to therapy and what outcome you are looking for. I want to get to know you without you feeling interrogated.
