My communication style

I love to engage and get to know my clients. I'm truly interested in their lives and perspectives. I also gently but directly encourage clients to make goals and changes so their lives can improve.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been attracted to jobs where I'm helping people. Working alongside counselors who had such passion to help their clients inspired me to realize that's what I wanted to do.

My goals for you

I talk with clients about what they'd like to get out of therapy so we can set long-term goals. I encourage clients to try making 2-3 changes each week, whether that's trying a new coping skill or thinking of things differently. I don't shame clients if they don't reach a goal. Instead, I explore what will help make a change.

Our first session

In our first session, I want to learn about you and what brought you to therapy. I ask questions and will guide you through the process. At the end, we should both have an idea of what you want to get out of counseling and have some goals set.
