My communication style

I'm curious and enjoy getting to know you. My goal is to listen attentively, attune my empathy to your needs, and provide a direct approach with psychoeducational information from various counseling theories. My hope is that you'll leave feeling you have a professional ally who understands your needs and you look forward to coming back.

My journey to mental healthcare

I began my career in financial planning, where a client suggested I would make a good psychologist. Agreeing with that assessment, I pursued counseling psychology. Counseling became my goal as I raised my children, and it's something I could do for the rest of my life to add purpose and meaning.

My goals for you

Knowing, Being, Doing—we look at these three areas for goal setting. If you're feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, I'll provide psychoeducational information to help you understand how your brain creates the anxiety cycle, teach somatic exercises and coping skills, which changes your way of responding to anxiety in helpful ways.

Our first session

My goal is to provide something meaningful and encouraging during your first session, in addition to conducting a thorough intake and background history. Every first session is unique to your needs, and I recommend writing down anything on your heart and mind beforehand so we can follow up on what's important.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
• Christian, Interfaith, Non-denominational
