My communication style

I see therapy as a collaborative approach and encourage client involvement. With a direct yet compassionate style, I help clients navigate life transitions, current challenges, anxiety, depression, and childhood trauma. I also help clients learn new coping and communication skills.

My journey to mental healthcare

With my own childhood trauma, I decided I wanted to help others experiencing challenges. There was also mental illness and addiction in my family, and I felt prepared and equipped to assist others experiencing difficulties in life.

My goals for you

I help clients identify their goals for therapy, exploring all issues they want to address. With that information, goals are created together, including a time frame to achieving those goals.

Our first session

I establish connection and rapport with others. I ask clarifying questions to identify goals, previous therapy experiences, and what worked in the past. I answer questions clients have about me and discuss my approach to therapy, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, hypnotherapy, and solution-focused therapy.
