My communication style

I work hard to create a calm and judgment-free environment for my clients. My hope is that my clients feel comfortable and engaged in sessions. I enjoy presenting myself as a person working with another person, not just as a 'blank slate'.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love working in the therapy field. Therapy was an important resource in my own life and helped me heal. I continue to work with my own therapist to this day. I was fortunate to work with a non-profit that promoted art as a method of healing, and I am excited to offer that form of healing and expression to my clients.

My goals for you

When it comes to goal setting, I want to work in collaboration with my client to set goals that they feel passionate about and that they feel they can realistically achieve. I work to guide my clients towards understanding what goals might be important for them and how we can work together to achieve them.

Our first session

Clients should expect to go over legal and ethical protocol, RULA policies, as well as answer questions to their comfort level. This first session will give clients and me a chance to see how we can work together.
