My communication style

Sessions are serious and fun all in one. You'll find me laid back, honest, and reliable. I focus on creating an environment where you feel comfortable exploring your experiences and working toward meaningful change.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began in 2001 when I started running groups for a 12-step group. From there, I became a behavioral tech at a nationally respected drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility. I then recognized that I might want a career in this, so I enrolled in a master’s program to become a social worker.

My goals for you

When working with clients on goal setting, I follow a structured yet flexible approach to ensure their goals are clear, actionable, and motivating. I approach it by Understand Their Vision, Set SMART Goals, Break Goals into Manageable Steps, Identify Potential Obstacles, Built-in Accountability, Acknowledge progress, Stay Flexible, Adjust.

Our first session

Introductions and Rapport Building: The therapist will likely start by introducing themselves and creating a comfortable environment. If you're comfortable, you might start discussing some initial goals for therapy. This helps both you and the therapist focus on what you want to achieve.
