My communication style

It is my goal to create a warm, calm, non-judgmental, and safe space for my clients to share their thoughts. I see it as my job to help my clients see new options they could utilize to solve problems in their lives and to gently help them make the kinds of choices that can lead to a healthy and fulfilling life.

My journey to mental healthcare

After a series of mishaps in life during my twenties, I went through a depressive episode, but I didn't know that was what it was. I went to the doctor thinking there was something wrong with my thyroid, and he explained the truth of the situation and sent me to a therapist. She changed my life and showed me the path toward wellness.

My goals for you

I usually ask my clients what they would like to accomplish during treatment and what their goals for therapy are, and then I do my best to help them accomplish those goals. As therapy proceeds, I may make suggestions for other goals that seem appropriate for their life situations, but in the end, I try to honor the client's wishes.

Our first session

During the first session I will ask questions about what brings the client to therapy, what is going on with their moods, and their life situations, and then help them to set some initial goals for therapy, and likely assign some simple homework to get them started on the work to reach their goals.
