My communication style

My style is calm and collaborative. I encourage you to be open, share concerns, and raise questions about the therapeutic process. I welcome feedback and emphasize that sessions are designed to meet your needs, so your active participation guides our work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to therapy in middle school, inspired by watching my mother interact with and help others. She taught me to love individuals of all ages, overlooking disability, color, or other defining characteristics.

My goals for you

In our initial intake, I ask about the goals you hope to achieve and what has or hasn't worked with former therapists. Together, we build a safe space where you can explore and work toward meaningful change.

Our first session

During our first session, I'll get to know you and the problems that brought you to therapy. As you share your feelings and pain, I work with you to create a warm, nurturing environment where you feel safe to discuss anything you need to.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
• Christian, Mormon, Spiritual
