My communication style

I offer a low-key, supportive, friendly style that creates a safe, non-judgmental space for you to feel comfortable and build trust. Therapy can be uncomfortable when exploring sensitive issues, so feeling safe is essential. I believe you have underlying strengths, and I help you discover them and develop strategies for a more fulfilling life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always had a desire for helping people. I was the person others talked to, even as a kid. Studying psychology and child development led naturally to becoming a therapist. I also taught for many years, which utilized my therapy skills. During the pandemic, I returned to therapy exclusively.

My goals for you

I believe goals are met by setting achievable, incremental steps. We explore what life might look like if you achieved your goals, then break them into steps that build success. As you actualize each step, you approach your overall goal. Mistakes are learning experiences that inform adjustments. Progress is made one step at a time.
