My communication style

It's most important to me that you feel safe and completely open to sharing anything. My communication style is direct, similar to how a friend would speak to a friend. My clients feel valued, supported, and understood.

My journey to mental healthcare

I enjoyed hearing about people's lives and wanted to help on an emotional level. I gained experience working with teens, adults, couples, families, and groups. With one-on-one therapy, I can dig deeper into your past and process where thoughts, behaviors, and patterns come from.

My goals for you

We will set goals based on how you'd like to emotionally feel, think, and respond in the future. I help you get to the root of the issue and focus on what can be changed, controlled, or accepted. We'll set small, step-by-step goals that lead to significant changes.

Our first session

I'll check what prompted you to initiate therapy and what therapy means to you. This discussion helps me understand your needs so each session is helpful and meaningful moving forward. I want you to feel you're getting from therapy exactly what you intended.
