My communication style

I am a clear communicator. I have been told I am blunt and validating. I ask sometimes difficult questions because I like to push my clients to shift their thinking beneficially. Growing up can be uncomfortable, but that is okay.

My journey to mental healthcare

I did this job as a cashier. I listened to people while I bagged their groceries, so I figured I would get the education to ensure I was doing the work in a clinically helpful way.

My goals for you

Clients can expect to be heard and validated in sessions with me. The goals you set are sometimes easy to notice when met, and sometimes it takes time to see the change. My goal is to create a space for people to feel they can question the choices they make because that is how we grow and change. We need the space to think.

Our first session

In our first session, we will go over your goals and what brought you to therapy. I also try to gather what change looks like for clients, but sometimes this takes a couple of sessions. In the first session, oftentimes people feel they dump everything. This is common and can be draining, but insightful.
