My communication style

It's important to me that my clients feel safe in the space where we are meeting. Ensuring comfort and safety is vital, especially in a telehealth setting. Through getting to know my clients, I adjust my communication style to their needs. I most often engage clients in dialogue versus being predominantly quiet during the session.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a Therapist after having sought my own healing from my own early childhood trauma, the loss of my mother at 21, and suffering from PTSD and anxiety. Therapy continues to help me heal and make healthier choices, and I know it can help you too.

My goals for you

As a therapist, I understand that while goal setting can be important, I also equally value flexibility and adaptability with goals. Life is messy, and mental health treatment has to be able to fit into the messiness of life. We have to be able to pivot and adjust our therapeutic goals when needed.

Our first session

During the first session, introductions will be made, and rapport-building will begin. I will provide my background as it pertains to my ability to treat your mental health symptoms. After completing an informed consent process, I will begin my assessment, where I gather information from you with regard to why you are seeking treatment.

I identify as...
