My communication style

I am laid back but can be direct. My clients report feeling my empathy and compassion for their situations. I like for the client to set some goals around what they would like from therapy so that I can ensure I'm meeting my clients' needs. I'm friendly and laugh easily, putting my clients at ease.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was heavily impacted by tragedy in mental health, and I knew I wanted to make a difference in suicide prevention and crisis management. I became a school counselor and served at the elementary and high school levels. I responded to multiple crises including deaths by suicide, murders, and wildfires.

My goals for you

I like to ask clients to set a few goals for the start of therapy, even if it's just to reduce some symptoms or help process through something difficult. We'll review goals periodically to ensure we are meeting the targets and to set new goals as therapy progresses.

Our first session

An informal meeting where I would hope to get some background information and what brings them to therapy.
