My communication style

It is of the utmost priority that our sessions feel conversational. Starting and continuing therapy can feel serious, and many times it is; however, the process does not always need to be. My goal is for my clients to feel heard and seen while creating a safe place to challenge themselves to grow into the person they ultimately want to be.

My journey to mental healthcare

My introduction to mental health and psychology really began with an internship. There, I was introduced to Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). It affirmed that early childhood experiences have a great impact on your trajectory. I have seen firsthand how small shifts can have lasting positive effects.

My goals for you

Following the initial assessment of presenting issues and symptoms, we will continue to discuss what brought you to therapy and what you hope to accomplish during our time together, both short-term and long-term. As therapy progresses, goals often change, and there may be times when goals need to be re-evaluated.

Our first session

The first session can feel somewhat clinical. The goal of the first session is for me to understand what brought you to therapy, what is most bothersome to you, and what you hope to accomplish. We will also spend time discussing housekeeping matters like communication between sessions, late or no shows, and any other scheduling questions.
