My communication style

Collaboration and viewing the client as the expert in their life are two major components of my therapy style. I work hard to create a judgment-free space for clients to explore whatever they identify as important to their healing journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

I enjoy creating and holding space for people who are at their most vulnerable. Being a person who can offer support, compassion, and understanding, I have felt that this profession is exactly what I am meant to do.

My goals for you

I collaborate with clients around treatment planning and goal setting, both long-term and short-term.

Our first session

First sessions are typically intakes where I try to gather a solid snapshot of the client's history and current presenting concerns. I also collect a goal from the client, which is what is utilized to construct the treatment plan around.
