My communication style

I communicate with compassion, encouragement, and humor. Life is hard, and I validate the difficult parts for you. I encourage you to reach that healthier lifestyle that you desire. I love using humor and seeing my clients smile.

My journey to mental healthcare

I began my career in substance abuse counseling and DUI classes. I’ve specialized in talk therapy, play therapy, and art therapy, with a focus on helping clients resolve unresolved trauma. Most recently, I spent six years as the Behavioral Health Program Director for a foster agency in California.

My goals for you

We will review your concerns and desired outcomes for therapy. That information we can utilize to create one to two goals to help you heal and become a healthier you. Completing goals will result in discussing any other potential goals you would like to work on or deciding that therapy has come to a successful end.

Our first session

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and for me to understand what you hope to achieve in therapy. While there will be a number of questions, my goal is for you to leave feeling a sense of hope about the path we're about to take together. I want you to feel confident that this can be a positive and beneficial step for you.
