My communication style

I strive to create an environment filled with empathy and warmth where you feel safe sharing vulnerable parts of yourself. Our relationship should feel like a team and a form of support. My style is direct, non-judgmental, supportive, and motivating. I also enjoy including a little humor because sometimes we deserve a good laugh.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started as a substance use counselor for youth and young adults, where I developed my passion for helping others become their best selves. I then provided co-occurring and employment coaching to individuals who identified mental health symptoms as barriers to employment. I'm passionate about helping clients gain efficiency in their lives.

My goals for you

When setting goals, I follow your lead. We define goals together and ensure they are achievable and relevant to your stressors. We assess progress regularly to gauge success and tweak our approach as needed.

Our first session

During the first session, I'll lead you through gaining an understanding of your world and the challenges within. I hope to understand your experience with mental stress and how it creates challenges in your everyday life. This is also when we'll start creating therapy goals.
