My communication style

I like people. I am always happy to see each client. Each person is a different story. Therapy should not be painful. I am very honest and like developing a strong dialogue with each client. I have a sense of humor. I think that is imperative in this life. Our challenges can be tough, and it is okay to laugh when nothing else will do.

My journey to mental healthcare

I worked in the entertainment business before going back to school to pursue my master's degree in Psychology. The clients are what drive me to do this work. There are a myriad of challenges in every person's life. I learn from each client. I am humbled by this work. There is always more to learn for both myself and my clients.

My goals for you

Goal setting is important. It speaks to what the client is experiencing when I first meet them. It is something I like to revisit as I get to know clients. Your goals can be completed and added to as we work towards accomplishing them.

Our first session

First sessions include an assessment. I am going to ask each client a lot of questions about themselves. It gives me an all-around picture of who each client is and the challenges they face.
