My communication style

Open communication is very important to me in the therapeutic relationship. I make sure to explain everything I am doing in therapy so my clients can feel safe and heard throughout the process. Some clients are not comfortable with just talk therapy. I also have art supplies and a sand-tray in my office to allow for diverse ways of communication.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have 10 years of experience working in the mental health field across various settings, including residential, outpatient, and in-home environments. This diverse experience has equipped me to handle a broad range and severity of clinical issues. Additionally, I have 6 years of experience as a victim advocate working with women to find safety.

My goals for you

Collaboration is important when determining goals with my clients. Reprocessing through trauma is a deliberate process and requires both my client and me to work together. Since people lose their voice when they experience their trauma, it is important to have one when they are reprocessing it.

Our first session

In the first session I allow this time for you to get to know me more before diving into more difficult topics. In the beginning I like to talk through different coping skills and provide psychoeducation to help my client's understand themselves better and build more understanding with themselves.
