My communication style

My clients tell me I am easy to talk to, an empathetic listener, slow to speak, and directive in guidance. I seek to understand each client's needs and work collaboratively in reaching therapeutic goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

My husband was a Chaplain in the Military. I would often spend time listening to service members and the stresses of military life. My husband and I, along with our three children, have experienced and know fully the challenges of serving in the military. I would often "counsel" service members and help provide relief in their current situation.

My goals for you

I first conduct an initial intake to gain a comprehensive understanding of each client. I conduct standard assessments such as the Mental Health Exam and other assessments I find appropriate to further understand my client and their needs. I work collaboratively with clients to create a treatment plan that includes goals and benchmarks.

Our first session

Clients will experience a warm, empathic approach with me. I am able to establish an alliance within the first session. I listen, ask questions to understand, and allow space for clients to express their concerns and what they would hope to receive from therapy. My initial goal is for my potential clients to feel seen, understood, and heard.
