My communication style

The feedback I get most often is that clients feel accepted working with me. They find me approachable and relatable. I do incorporate a sense of humor into my work as well, as I find it adds to the therapeutic relationship and in creating a safe working environment to explore thoughts and ideas. I am open to feedback.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been a helper type person, working as a Big Sister throughout school and volunteering at women's shelters and Rape Crisis programs. I love helping clients feel happier and more satisfied with themselves and their lives.

My goals for you

Week one generally focuses on identifying both long-term and short-term goals. I also try to understand clients' expectations of therapy and how they will know that they are feeling better.

Our first session

The focus is on understanding the client's present life and stressors as well as developing working goals. Further sessions will focus on skills building and understanding how core beliefs developed in childhood are affecting the client's current thoughts and feelings.

I identify as...
