My communication style

We can share openly and feel safe sharing all the things that we feel we cannot share anywhere else. Secrets destroy. So, having someone that you know you can trust to not share information is hopeful because you know when you share, the disinfecting light of opening up to someone can truly begin the healing, talking about things you had not shared

My journey to mental healthcare

I had many challenges with identity, compulsions, and, just in general, unhelpful thinking. I saw around me people behaving in ways that were counter to what they wanted as a child. I saw how hard-working families, including my own, lacked the peace, security, and love that is ideal to growing a family into mentally and emotionally healthy people.

My goals for you

Together we will check in every couple of weeks about how you feel progress is going. At those check-in points, you get to evaluate if our work is effective and helpful or if we need to adjust how counseling is going, so that you can feel that you are getting what you need, at every point in the journey of processing your life.

Our first session

It will be semi-structured. You will tell me what is on your mind and what you want out of counseling. Then I will tell you about myself and how I do counseling. I will be open, straightforward, and approachable for all your questions about counseling and what our sessions will look like in subsequent weeks.
