My communication style

I do both virtual and face-to-face sessions. I like my office because I find it to be cozy and soothing. I also try to take the same environment when it comes to my virtual sessions without having distractions in the background and knowing that my sole focus is you.

My journey to mental healthcare

In all honesty, I decided to become a therapist when my father was sober from addiction. He had gone to school for counseling after that, and I used to go to work with him. This is what I've been doing my whole adult life.

My goals for you

The client and I will determine a goal and then we will figure out the objectives that will assist in achieving that. We will also take a look at any barriers that may interfere with progress. Timing and knowing when one is achieving each objective is very important.

Our first session

During the first session, I would like to get to know you and spend time listening to what brings you to therapy at this time. I like to spend some time summarizing what I've heard you talking about and setting up some goals for therapy.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
