My communication style

When you come to a therapy session, my hope is that you can come as you are and be your authentic self. In turn, I offer my authentic self, which includes warmth, empathy, and humor.

My journey to mental healthcare

I recognized a need for social and emotional support for young learners, which led me to become a therapist. I worked in community mental health with young children and their families. My own experience with pregnancy and postpartum led me to have a passion for working with parents, especially mothers, in various parts of their maternal journey.

My goals for you

It is important that you feel that your goals for treatment are realistic and attainable. I will work with you to fully understand what we can use as benchmarks to measure your progress in treatment and to determine what life may look like when you reach these goals.

Our first session

Our first session is our opportunity to get to know one another and to make sure that you feel I am the best fit for your treatment. You will share with me what led you to seek out treatment and what goals you are hoping to accomplish. Once we determine that we are a good fit, we can progress toward more detailed information about your background.
