My communication style

I communicate in a direct manner. I listen closely and ask for clarification as needed. I feed off of your tone, verbiage, and demeanor. I strive to meet you where you are.

My journey to mental healthcare

I began my career and love of therapy as a counselor for abused men and women in domestic relationships. I could see how important it was to be a strong supporter, as well as an honest interpreter of clients' needs. I then pursued a bachelor's degree in clinical psychology, which led me to a children's mental health agency.

My goals for you

Successful outcomes include developing realistic and obtainable goals with you that address your specific needs or objectives. I typically include measurable goals so that both you and I can assess your progress.

Our first session

I start my sessions by introducing myself, my clinical background, my licenses, and a brief personal summary. I then ask what brings them to seek therapy at this time and what their expectations are. I believe healing and change come through developing the therapeutic relationship, and I strive to make my clients feel safe, heard, and supported.
