My communication style

In therapy, I will engage an individual to openly share what is troubling them. I like to describe my approach as strength-based and solution-focused. I am soft spoken but have a wild laugh. I tend to allow for quiet space during the session, offering the client the opportunity to reflect and share.

My journey to mental healthcare

When I was early in my social work career, it was evident that, in addition to social services, mental health care was essential for the foster youth I worked with. Once I got my master's in social work and was working on my hours toward licensure, the family system became central to the mental health work I offered.

My goals for you

As I partner with a person around their treatment goals, the goal is developed in their own words. It's at this time that I address my role to support the individual get to their finish line, I often celebrate and recognize movement and progress with the individual in a way that is specific to the individual and what I have learned about them.

Our first session

Once you schedule a session with me, I will reach out by phone or email, welcoming you to therapy. The first meeting requires paperwork. I plan ahead and prep as much as possible, which allows us to spend time discussing what it is that brought you to therapy.
