My communication style

You will feel safe in session with me. I practice active listening, reflective feedback, and use open-ended questions to help you sort through the concerns that brought you to treatment. The environment will always be warm, non-judgmental, and caring. This environment will support you in doing your sacred work.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have been a social worker and remain passionate and enthusiastic about the work I do. I am a highly empathetic and compassionate person. My desire to help, personal experiences, interest in human behavior, and deep personal conviction in the capacity for humans to change drive me to do this work.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting by beginning with a thorough assessment to understand the concerns that brought you to treatment, your strengths, and history. It will be a collaborative process to define meaningful and achievable goals.

Our first session

During our first few sessions, you can expect me to gather information about your personal and family history, your mental and emotional well-being, previous experiences with mental health treatment, and to discuss your goals of therapy.
