My communication style

I hope to provide a comfortable and safe environment where we can partner together. I range from client-centered to a more direct approach at times. I will often assign homework to give my clients something to think about or work on in between sessions.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been drawn to helping, educating, and advocating. My undergraduate work was to be a teacher, but I decided that wasn't the right thing for me in my third year, although I continued through and graduated with my BA in Liberal Studies. Years later, I went back for my Master's in Counseling and have been loving it since.

My goals for you

We'll work together to identify what matters most to you and create practical steps toward your goals. I'll support you in building skills and strategies that fit your life, checking in regularly to ensure we're on track and adjusting our approach as needed.

Our first session

During the first session, I try to get information about why clients are there, their history, and what they hope to get out of therapy. I often try to leave the session with something for my clients to work on before the next session.
