My communication style

My communication style is relaxed, inviting, and humorous. I believe that a strong connection in the therapeutic relationship can positively influence client outcomes. I offer a nonjudgmental and empathic space that allows my clients to be open and vulnerable through their therapy journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

I spent most of my career working with chronically mentally ill clients. Although the work was rewarding, I began to crave a change in direction. This led me to work with teens in a therapy setting. I especially love witnessing transformations in my clients' lives through the hard work they do in our sessions.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting in a collaborative way, allowing my clients the freedom to express their needs and limitations as well as offering recommendations based on my clinical judgment. Ultimately, my clients make determinations about goals they are open to setting.

Our first session

In our first session, I will take the time to explain my therapeutic approach and provide answers to any questions you have about the therapy process. I will also attempt to learn as much as I can about your goals, preferences, and concerns you may have about this new journey.
