My communication style

My communication style is very open and direct. I feel it is my goal to offer the client a space to truly be themselves and talk about the things they may not talk about with others. I try to keep my speaking parts to a minimum and let the client use the session time to communicate what they would like to say.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've worked with diverse populations, including people experiencing homelessness, substance use addiction, long-term illness, medical trauma, loneliness, infidelity, divorce, and relationship breakups. What I've learned is that regardless of population or setting, people are people, and everyone needs support.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting with clients by meeting the client where they are at and working to develop goals that are simple, measurable, action-based, realistic, and time-bound. Creating them this way allows both me and the client to ensure we are addressing their needs and to pivot as needed.

Our first session

During a first session, the client should expect to do a 'get to know you' type introduction where I will ask questions about what brought them to therapy, what their home and work life looks like, a bit of family history, and what to expect in our sessions moving forward.
