My communication style

I always strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment for my clients. I try to meet my clients with compassion and honesty and provide them with a space where they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and concerns.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I love to be a part of people's journey towards wellness. When I think about the good and change I can add to the world, I think it comes from meeting one person at a time, where they are, and providing a safe space for them to speak, be heard, grieve, and heal.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting in a collaborative way. At the onset of meetings, I sit with the client, and we set goals for treatment together. Throughout therapy, I check in with clients regarding progress toward goals and ensure we are still working on what is important to the client.

Our first session

During the first session, I complete a full assessment, getting the client's history of mental health, family, school, work, and social/emotional functioning. After we set goals that will direct our time moving forward.
