My communication style

My communication style comes across as clear, grounded, and practical. I focus on helping clients understand their situations in a new way without overcomplicating things, which makes my approach feel accessible and results-oriented.

My journey to mental healthcare

I enjoyed my time in school and the connections I made with others, which sparked my interest in this field. I was drawn to helping people through challenges like substance use and grief, and to a better understanding of human behavior and relationships. After the loss of my husband, I feel committed to supporting others through grief and loss.

My goals for you

I provide tailored assignments between sessions to help clients apply what we discuss in real, meaningful ways. We review and reflect on this work together, creating a sense of accountability and forward momentum. Above all, I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship, as trust and connection are the foundation for lasting change.

Our first session

A first session with me would be structured and welcoming, focused on understanding the client’s concerns, history, and goals. I would begin identifying patterns and offering early insight while setting a collaborative, goal-oriented direction for treatment, including between-session assignments.
