My communication style

I try to be direct while being open and understanding. We all come in with our own unique, individual perspective. I try to ask a lot of questions to leave less room for misunderstanding.

My journey to mental healthcare

After finding talk therapy helpful in my own journey, I sought to learn more about psychology. When I learned more about art therapy, I could envision my background in art and this new interest in psychology merging well together. I really enjoy getting to be a witness in others' journeys of self-discovery and change.

My goals for you

I try to keep clients honest with themselves and reflect back to the goals they've shared to ensure the habits and actions they are currently doing align with what they say their goals are. I try to help clients explore alternative possibilities and be a supportive force that wants them to accomplish their therapeutic goals.

Our first session

Typically, during the first session, we would discuss expectations, past experiences in therapy, what brought you in at this time, symptoms that are present, and goals. These goals are something we would focus on and keep in mind throughout therapy to be able to check in on progress and changes experienced.
