My communication style

I prioritize a compassionate, gentle, and open environment. At first, therapy can be difficult if you feel guarded and slow to open up. I believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important and effective tools. I prioritize an environment that is free from judgment so the client feels safe to be open and honest.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist as my second career after spending about 10 years as an accountant (CPA). I felt called to help others, which led to a career change. I was drawn to therapy as I have always been compassionate and empathic toward others. After having a positive experience with therapy myself, I saw firsthand how beneficial it was.

My goals for you

I believe in working collaboratively and that the client is the expert in their own lives. After gaining more of an understanding about what the client is experiencing, I help guide them in identifying what goals will meet their needs and help them live their life with intention and alignment.

Our first session

Our first session together will be spent reviewing the policies and procedures and answering any questions you may have about the therapy process. We'll spend time getting to know each other. I'll ask deeper questions about your experience. And we'll work together to establish goals for therapy.
