My communication style

I am very easy to work with. I am a collaborative communicator, and I instill in my clients a sense of safety and trust. I focus on my clients' strengths to help them feel empowered and engaged in their therapy. Due to my life experiences and training, I can relate and empathize with just about everyone.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist after the tragic loss of my husband. I had a therapist, who I believe saved my life. Her care, wisdom, and understanding attracted me to want to do the same for others. I am driven to do this work because I understand how painful life can be. I want to help people move through the things that cause them pain and sadness.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with my clients to determine their goals for therapy. I ask my clients what they want to focus on and develop a plan from there.

Our first session

Clients should expect a very relaxed meeting. I introduce myself and share what type of therapist I am. I go over a few business items, and then we dive into what is concerning the client. I try to help the client relax and feel at ease, as we begin the journey of learning to trust one another and share.
