My communication style

I try to make therapy as fun as possible, as I feel it makes each person feel more comfortable being open with a therapist. If appropriate, I implement humor and want to know all about your interests!

My journey to mental healthcare

Going through therapy as an adolescent, I remember how awkward it felt to meet a stranger and be expected to reveal my feelings. I decided in college to pursue being a therapist so I can help others feel comfortable in a vulnerable setting and safely share aspects of themselves they have never shared before.

My goals for you

I find that goal setting is a joint effort. Sometimes a client already knows what their goals are - in this case, I would assist with identifying manageable goals in a short-term and long-term facet. If a client does not know what their goals are, then I will be more involved in the entire process.

Our first session

Clients should expect me to ask them questions about what brings them to therapy. The purpose of all of those questions is for me to better understand how I can best help you.
