My communication style

I would describe my communication style as warm, encouraging, and transparent. In sessions, I'm intentional about checking in to make sure we're addressing what's most important to you. Each time we meet, I seek to listen with empathy and create intentional pauses for reflection. And a dash of humor is always welcome!

My journey to mental healthcare

After working in family law, I realized I felt more drawn to one-on-one conversations than the legal aspect. Walking alongside clients as they heal, grow, and meet their goals is an honor I don't take lightly. I find importance in our unique human experiences and feel passionate about meeting clients where they are.

My goals for you

Our time together is collaborative, and while I hold the title of therapist, you know yourself best. My hope is that sessions will feel conversational, a touch humorous, motivating, and realistic. I aim to keep discussions rooted in curiosity, so we can better understand the why and identify steps we can take to keep you moving forward.

Our first session

By the end of our first session, I hope to understand what brings you to therapy and have a roadmap of where we're headed. We'll talk about you, your background, and details relevant to your participation. Some clients come with specific goals and feel ready to share openly; others may need more prompting. Either is fine!
