My communication style

I believe communication is key in the therapeutic alliance. I strive to create a safe space where you can share openly without fear of judgment. I use active listening to understand your point of view and empathy to provide feedback and help you reflect.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have worked with individuals in severe mental health crises, often during the worst part of their lives. I decided to work with clients before crisis to help prevent it. My experiences led me to continue working with youth and families, those facing chronic illness, and those experiencing profound grief.

My goals for you

You are the expert in your own life. I guide you to reflect, change, and grow in the ways you want, making therapy collaborative. I incorporate your interests and experiences to help create lasting change. I find ways to be interactive and fun using stories, games, role-playing, and humor whenever possible.

Our first session

I use the first session to gather pertinent medical, mental health, and family history to gain a better understanding of the full picture. We will then explore expectations for the therapeutic relationship. We will create individualized goals for therapy and discuss how I can help you get there.
