My communication style

Clients who like my work say that they like and want interaction. So I’m a sounding board, and there’s back-and-forth. I very much support my clients in self-exploration and self-empowerment and encourage them to find their own rhythm and follow it as best as they can, rather than trying to follow anyone else’s, including mine.

My journey to mental healthcare

In my teens and 20s, I was a journalist, when health issues turned my attention to the importance of self-care and personal growth. After several years of self-study in holistic health, metaphysics, food as medicine, and spirituality, I decided to advance my education to become a nutrition counselor.

My goals for you

It’s a good thing for clients to have goals, although I find that they will often benefit from support in being realistic about the timing. So I break goals down into components that have a common-sense progression. As I’ve learned with clients who are dealing with habit change, starting small is a more effective way to approach any kind of change.

Our first session

I like to start with a no-cost get-acquainted telephone consultation. This helps you get a sense of me, and it gives me some clarity. The best way I can serve is to assist you with referrals. If we decide to work together, in our first session, I'll introduce you to how sessions are organized so you can get the most out of our time together.

I identify as...
