My communication style

I am warm and friendly! I love using humor (when appropriate) in the therapy environment. Life is hard and therapy can be as well! I believe healthy humor can be incredibly positive and can help create safe connections. I am incredibly humanistic and view therapy as a chance for folks to have a real connection when talking to someone.

My journey to mental healthcare

I lost a loved one at the young age of 17 and this shaped me as a person and how I view the world. I wanted to better understand the human experience and help people in their journey to a happier and healthier life. The “why” of why we as people do what we do is all interconnected to core values and core experiences we have!

My goals for you

My clients are in control of their goals. They are the experts in their lives. My role is to come alongside them and help them identify what their goals are and what life would look like if they felt more happy and fulfilled. I help them translate this vision into tangible, achievable, and incremental goals to keep them encouraged in their journey.

Our first session

I want to hear from clients a general overview of what brought them to therapy and what it is about this time in their life that they decided now is the time for therapy. I take time to understand their expectations for therapy and what they are wanting to gain from therapy.
