My communication style

I like to use a unique approach to therapy, which is just as authentic inside and outside of the session. I like to be relatable, use humor and sarcasm, and be irreverent where appropriate. I provide quite a bit of "use of self" to help you open up, feel comfortable, and release emotional pain in a supportive environment.

My journey to mental healthcare

My own personal experiences that have made me curious rather than judgmental. I enjoy helping! I studied sociology, then went to AmeriCorps NCCC, then grad school for social work, and then got my LCSW. I've worked 20+ years in this field, and am proud to do what I love, and humbled by the work my Clients and I have been able to do together.

My goals for you

We become investigators in our own lives, and slowly but surely try out alternative ways of coping and surviving. I have been effective at providing the space and connections to go deeper and discover the roots of behaviors, survival skills, and identity formation.

Our first session

When you first come to therapy, you are often repeating coping and survival skills that are no longer working, but are unsure how to stop. Whatever you are struggling with deserves true attention without judgment, as well as a great deal of empathy, compassion, and validation for why we do the things we do.
