My communication style

I value establishing a trusting relationship so that people feel comfortable talking to me about difficult issues. I truly care about, enjoy, and respect the people I work with, and I feel that comes through in my sessions. I also love to laugh and help people see the funny side of life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always loved being a helper. I have also personally been through trauma in my life that was difficult to bounce back from. I feel that being able to help someone escape the binds of life's issues and come to enjoy themselves again is the most important thing anyone can do.

My goals for you

I start wherever you are. Whether you're ready for difficult goals or need to start small, both are valuable. Any movement is fantastic, and you set the pace. I stress setting goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound so it's easy to see your progress.

Our first session

During the first session, I generally gather history and establish the foundation for our relationship. We will also set goals, or at least begin thinking about what you would like to accomplish during our time together.
