My communication style

Clients describe me as easy to open up with. I create a safe, non-judgmental setting where trust is naturally established. Even though therapy can bring up strong emotions, many appreciate my sense of humor. I'm easygoing and strive to maintain clear communication, seeking input to ensure things make sense to you.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path started as a middle school student who reluctantly saw the school counselor and found it helpful. Being a client myself deepened my understanding of the therapeutic experience. Seasons of adversity have deepened my compassion. I believe my calling is guiding others toward a better life filled with deeper purpose and meaning.

My goals for you

I believe goal setting is most effective when done collaboratively. I seek your input and help facilitate the process, whether you're experienced with goal-setting or not. I also help establish observable ways to identify and recognize signs of progress to improve therapeutic results.

Our first session

The first session is an opportunity to discuss whatever concerns you're experiencing. You don't have to discuss things on a deep level initially. Establishing trust and safety is most helpful before diving deeper. I'll offer my thoughts on how I can help and seek your input. Therapy should be collaborative, where we co-create goals together.
